Chrome needs to patch twice a week because of AI-driven vulnerability hunting

Google Chrome is now distributing security updates twice a week, after AI tools for vulnerability hunting identified over 1,072 security flaws in June alone – more than the 23 previous major releases combined. The Chrome team trains AI models on historical CVEs and the entire code history to uncover weaknesses in complex code that no longer receives much human attention.

WHY IT MATTERS

This marks a turning point in how the industry secures software. It shows both opportunities and challenges with AI-driven security – while AI identifies weaknesses quickly, Chrome is simultaneously working on structural improvements to reduce entire categories of errors permanently.
