Google patched 1,072 security bugs in Chrome's two June releases (versions 149 and 150), surpassing the 1,036 fixes across the previous 23 versions released over two years. The company credits its internal AI tools, including Gemini, for this exponential increase in vulnerability discovery and remediation. Chrome's director of engineering says LLMs have 'fundamentally shifted the economics of cybersecurity.' Microsoft reported a similar trend, patching a record 570 flaws in its July Patch Tuesday, also citing AI. Apple, by contrast, shows no comparable acceleration in bug fixes.
