Google's AI-powered bug hunting tool, named 'Big Sleep' and developed in collaboration with DeepMind and Project Zero, has autonomously identified 20 security vulnerabilities in widely used open-source software libraries, including FFmpeg and ImageMagick. This marks the AI model’s first fully autonomous discovery, with human involvement limited to confirmation of the findings. The vulnerabilities were confirmed by Project Zero, Google's security team known for identifying critical flaws. The tool is powered by Google's Gemini AI system. Following these discoveries, Google issued a critical security warning for all Pixel device users, emphasizing the importance of addressing these vulnerabilities. The initiative reflects a growing trend of leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance cybersecurity efforts and reduce reliance on traditional bug hunting methods.
