Google says it fixed more Chrome bugs in June than over the past two years, thanks to AI
What's happening
Google says its June Chrome releases fixed a combined 1,072 security bugs across the two versions shipped that month, which exceeds the 1,036 fixes applied across the previous 23 versions over the last two years. Google attributes the jump in bug fixes to the use of AI tools and large language models to find and patch vulnerabilities. Reports note this mirrors a broader trend where companies like Microsoft also use LLMs and AI to dramatically increase bug discovery and remediation.
Why it's trending
Because Google just shipped two June Chrome releases that together outpaced two years of fixes, and the company links the surge directly to AI tools and LLMs.
