Nokia: AI to drive 160x traffic growth, quadrupling global data by 2035

Nokia forecasts a substantial increase in global data traffic, predicting it will quadruple by 2035 to approximately 3,789 exabytes per month. This surge is largely attributed to the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence, which is expected to account for 44% of all global data traffic within the next decade. Specifically, traffic from autonomous AI agents is projected to grow 160-fold, while physical AI applications like robots and connected vehicles will generate 105 times their current data volume, necessitating significant upgrades to telecommunications networks for lower latency and increased transmission capacity.
