Only 13% of emails are written by people, and more than half end up in the spam folder: ‘This isn’t a technical detail; it’s a structural change’

Artificial intelligence (AI) could be the final nail in the coffin for email, a form of communication that is increasingly less used, especially among young people, who see it as a relic of the past. Many users receive a daily deluge of emails that don’t interest them in the slightest. An analysis by Hostinger, one of the world’s leading web hosting and domain providers, reveals one of the reasons for the irrelevance of most of the electronic communications we receive: 87% of global email traffic is generated by automated systems, meaning it’s not written by people. Another striking finding from their report is that only 44% of emails passed the recipients’ security checks (anti-spam and antivirus) and made it to their inbox.
