To handle the massive increase in bug reports, Google has implemented multi-agent workflows in which AI agents automatically triage issues, draft candidate code fixes, serve as critics, and write cross-platform tests. To prevent attackers from exploiting known vulnerabilities before users update, Google is piloting two security releases a week and pioneering “dynamic patching” to apply critical background updates on the fly without requiring a full browser restart.
