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

Google said its AI tools helped it fix 1,072 Chrome security bugs in the last two June releases, more than the 1,036 fixes made across the previous 23 Chrome versions over the prior two years. The article frames this as evidence that LLMs are accelerating vulnerability discovery and patching across the software industry, potentially improving browser security but also highlighting how AI is changing cybersecurity economics. Google’s Chrome engineering leadership said models like Gemini are helping it preemptively find and fix flaws faster. The piece also notes Microsoft recently reported a record number of security fixes citing AI, while Apple has not shown the same surge. For markets, the story is mainly a sentiment/strategy update for Alphabet rather than a direct financial event.
