Google says its internal AI systems have accelerated security work in Chrome, helping the browser fix more vulnerabilities in June than in the previous two years combined.
According to the company, the last two Chrome releases in June addressed 1,072 security bugs. That figure exceeds the total fixes delivered across the prior 23 releases over roughly two years, which came to 1,036.
The update reflects a broader shift in software defense: AI tools are increasingly being used to identify flaws faster and support security teams at scale. Google says models such as Gemini are now part of its effort to detect and patch issues before they can be exploited.
In a white paper, Google described the change as a major step in how vulnerabilities are discovered and resolved. Chrome engineering director Doug Turner said AI has transformed vulnerability hunting into a more automated process, allowing the company to strengthen the browser with each release.
The trend is not limited to Google. Microsoft also recently reported a record number of security fixes across its products, pointing to its own use of AI. The growing pattern suggests that intelligent systems are becoming a core layer of digital protection across the industry.
As browsers and platforms evolve, AI-assisted security could help set a faster, more adaptive standard for online safety in the years ahead.
