How Chrome is using AI to improve vulnerability discovery, triage, and patching. We’re living through a massive shift in the software security industry. Large Language Models (LLMs) are unlocking unprecedented capabilities for automated vulnerability discovery, scaling far beyond the limits of human security expertise, and requiring new approaches for staying ahead of attackers. This means deploying AI models at scale to find and fix hundreds of security bugs, faster than ever, with the goal of achieving greater resilience and comprehensive remediation. Here’s how we’re doing it. The Life of A Bug Some software bugs have security implications. While a purely functional bug might result in a frustrating UI freeze, a security bug (or vulnerability) can be used to build an exploit. Exploits allow attackers to perform malicious actions on a victim’s computer, such as reading private data, or controlling their machine without their knowledge.…
