Google uses AI to fix thousands of Chrome vulnerabilities in a single month, exceeding the total of the past two years. The data recently released by Google is shocking: with the assistance of AI tools, in the two versions of Chrome 149 and Chrome 150 launched in June alone, the team fixed as many as 1,072 vulnerabilities.

Google uses AI to fix thousands of Chrome vulnerabilities in a single month, exceeding the total of the past two years. The data recently released by Google is shocking: with the assistance of AI tools, the team fixed as many as 1,072 security vulnerabilities in the two versions of Chrome 149 and Chrome 150 launched in June alone. For comparison, the total number of vulnerabilities fixed in the 23 Chrome versions released in the past two years is only 1,036 - AI has brought about a qualitative change in the efficiency of vulnerability discovery and repair. Gemini enters the scene, and vulnerability mining enters the industrial era. Chrome Engineering Director Doug Turner said bluntly that the large language model has fundamentally changed the economic landscape of network security, transforming vulnerability discovery into automated, industrial-scale operations. By applying models such as Gemini, Google can repair vulnerabilities in advance and outperform its opponents in security attack and defense confrontations. This trend is becoming an industry consensus. Microsoft also announced earlier this month that it had patched a record 570 security vulnerabilities in its monthly updates, attributing the achievement directly to the addition of AI tools. Apple has not experienced similar explosive growth yet, and independent statistics show that the number of vulnerabilities it will fix in 2026 is basically the same as in previous years. While security researchers warn that AI will exponentially increase vulnerability mining, Google and Microsoft are using actual data to prove that defenders can also use AI to fight back in kind. In the new normal where the speed of vulnerability discovery increases tenfold or even a hundredfold, whoever can use AI to plug the gaps faster will have the real initiative in this offensive and defensive battle. via AI News (author: AI Base)
