Google is leveraging AI, specifically Gemini agents, to significantly accelerate the process of finding, validating, and patching security vulnerabilities in Google Chrome. These AI systems can identify bugs, including a 13-year-old sandbox escape, and automate the generation of code patches and test suites. This has led to a dramatic increase in security fixes, with over 1,000 bugs patched in recent Chrome releases, and Google is developing dynamic patching to eliminate the 'patch gap' without requiring full browser restarts.
