Google says its internal artificial intelligence (AI) tools have helped it fix more security vulnerabilities in its Chrome browser in the past month than in the previous two years combined.

The technology company announced that it patched 1,072 security flaws across the two latest versions of Chrome, both released in June.

The figure exceeds the 1,036 fixes recorded across the previous 23 Chrome versions released over the last two years.

Google said the development reflects the growing role of AI in identifying and addressing cybersecurity threats, as researchers and technology companies increasingly rely on artificial intelligence to detect vulnerabilities faster.

Cybersecurity experts have long warned that advances in large language models (LLMs) could allow AI systems to discover security flaws at a much larger scale, requiring defenders to adopt similar technologies to stay ahead of malicious actors.

A chart released by Google as part of a white paper on its AI security efforts showed a significant rise in vulnerabilities identified and fixed across recent Chrome versions.

Doug Turner, Chrome’s director of engineering, said AI has changed the way cybersecurity teams approach vulnerability detection.

He said AI models such as Gemini are helping Google identify and fix potential security issues before they can be exploited.

Google is not the only technology company reporting an increase in security fixes linked to AI-assisted detection.

Microsoft earlier this month announced that it had patched a record 570 security flaws across its products during its monthly security update cycle, commonly known as “Patch Tuesday.”

The company attributed part of the increase to the use of AI in identifying vulnerabilities.

Apple, however, has not recorded a similar rise in security fixes. Independent tracking of vulnerabilities shows the company has patched 482 security issues in 2026, a figure that is broadly in line with previous years.

Apple has not commented on the reported figures.

Google says the continued use of AI in cybersecurity will help strengthen digital security and improve the speed at which vulnerabilities are identified and resolved.
