Apparently Twitter claims only 5% of users are bots.
I can't find the exact wording right now, but I recall when I read their original statement from Twitter the number came with several caveats and conditions. Basically they didn't say that only 5% of accounts where bots, but that of accounts that fulfil criteria A, B, C and D, only 5% are bots.
edit: the full information is on page 5 of their Q-10 here [1].
