Google says it fixed more Chrome bugs in June than over the past two years, thanks to AI

Google says it fixed 1,072 security bugs in Chrome's two June releases using internal AI tools, exceeding the 1,036 bugs patched over the previous 23 releases spanning two years. The company attributes this acceleration to applying large language models like Gemini to vulnerability discovery at scale. This shift reflects how AI is fundamentally changing cybersecurity economics, with defenders now able to match or exceed the rate at which attackers can exploit flaws.
Why it matters
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.
