NEW: Google announced that its AI-powered bug hunter Big Sleep found its first 20 vulnerabilities, mostly in open source projects.
A company executive called the development "a new frontier in automated vulnerability discovery." But it's important to note that there was still a human involved, as Google told us.
"We have a human expert in the loop before reporting, but each vulnerability was found and reproduced by the AI agent without human intervention,” a spokesperson said.
