In a post on his X account, Adkins also emphasized the importance of transparency and collaboration in maintaining a secure digital ecosystem.

"Today, as part of our commitment to transparency, we are proud to report the first 20 vulnerabilities discovered by Big Sleep," said Adkins.

Google did not specify in full the type of vulnerability found. However, a Google spokesperson said that in making this report, they involved cybersecurity experts.

"To ensure high-quality and follow-up reports, we involve human experts before making a report, but any vulnerabilities are found and reproduced by AI agents without human interference," Google spokeswoman Kimberly Samra told TechCrunch.

Meanwhile, Google's vice president of engineering, Royal Hansen, also wrote on his X account that the findings show a new limit in the discovery of automatic vulnerabilities.

Big Sleep is Gemini-based AI system designed to proactively detect security loopholes before being misused by bad actors. This is expected to help accelerate responses to the growing threat.
