Google says it fixed more Chrome bugs in June than over the past two years, thanks to AI
As experts have warned for the last two years, some companies — like Microsoft and now Google — are finding and patching an exponential number of bugs in their products, thanks to the use of LLMs and AI tools.
Get smart on it
Google used internal AI tools to fix more security bugs in Chrome during two releases in June than it had patched in the previous 23 releases over two years, demonstrating a dramatic shift in how quickly vulnerabilities can be discovered and addressed. Cybersecurity experts have predicted that AI systems would accelerate both bug discovery and the need for AI-powered defenses, and this data provides concrete evidence of that trend. Other major tech companies like Microsoft have reported similar exponential increases in bug fixes attributed to their use of AI, though Apple does not appear to be showing the same pattern.
