Chrome now patches twice weekly as AI bug hunting floods developers with 1,072 fixes
google's chrome security team patched 1,072 bugs in two june releases—more than the previous 23 combined—forcing a move to twice-weekly updates as ai-driven vulnerability discovery accelerates.
google's chrome security team reported that ai tools have enabled the discovery of 1,072 security bugs in just two recent june releases, a number surpassing the fixes shipped in the previous 23 major updates combined. to manage this influx, the team is piloting a patch schedule of twice weekly, moving away from the industry standard of less frequent updates. engineers attribute this spike to ai models that analyze chromium's full code history to predict where vulnerabilities exist, though they expect the rate of discovery to eventually plateau as the codebase hardens.
