Google’s Chrome browser is receiving updates at an accelerated rate, with two patches in June addressing more vulnerabilities than the previous 23 combined. This increase is directly linked to the implementation of artificial intelligence tools assisting in vulnerability discovery.
The surge in patched bugs began in June, where Chrome received two updates that resolved a higher number of issues than all updates released throughout the preceding 23-update period. Google is now increasing its patching schedule as a direct result of AI-assisted vulnerability discovery.
The use of AI to find security flaws allows for faster identification and remediation of potential threats within the browser. This proactive approach, while requiring more frequent updates, aims to enhance Chrome’s overall security posture by addressing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. The company has not specified what kind of AI tools are being used or how effective they have been beyond noting that they are driving the need for a faster patching cadence.
