That’s according to a report Wednesday (Oct. 28) by The New York Times, which says technologists are becoming overwhelmed at the volume of flaws.

In May, OpenAI began employing its technology to hunt for flaws in open-source software, with internal and external researchers finding more than 1,300 bugs.

Artificial intelligence “really opens this Pandora’s box of vulnerabilities,” Fouad Matin, who heads OpenAI’s cyber-preparedness and safety operations, told the NYT.

AI firms have a responsibility to find and fix these issues, as “the true goal is to scan and patch as much of the world’s software as possible,” Matin added.

Google in June used artificial intelligence to find and repair 1,072 bugs in its Chrome web browser and has fixed more severe bugs this year than in the last eight put together, the report said. Microsoft has published 1,461 patches this month, compared to 1,247 for the whole of 2025.
