Google's 'Big Sleep' AI Finds 20 Security Vulnerabilities in Open-Source Software

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is one of the most profitable growth stocks to buy according to billionaires. On August 5, Google announced that its AI-powered vulnerability researcher, named Big Sleep, has successfully found and reported 20 security vulnerabilities. Developed as a collaboration between Google’s AI division, DeepMind, and its elite hacking team, Project Zero, Big Sleep is an LLM-based tool designed to find bugs without human intervention.

The vulnerabilities were discovered in various popular open-source software, such as the audio and video library FFmpeg and the image-editing suite ImageMagick. While a human expert is involved in a final review to ensure the quality of the reports before they are submitted, Google confirmed that Big Sleep found and reproduced each vulnerability autonomously.

Big Sleep is not the only AI-powered bug hunter; other projects like RunSybil and XBOW have also shown promise. Vlad Ionescu, the co-founder of RunSybil, validated Big Sleep as a legit project, noting the strong expertise and resources behind it.

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) offers various products and platforms in the US, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Asia-Pacific, Canada, and Latin America. It operates through Google Services, Google Cloud, and Other Bets segments.
