The Browser Is Now an AI Runtime: Security Risks in Chrome's On-Device Models
Chrome automatically installs a 4.27 gigabyte artificial intelligence (AI) model on eligible desktops without user consent. After installation, any HTTPS website can execute the model without prompting the user, displaying no usage indicator, or enforcing rate limits.
Why it matters: Web developers and enterprise defenders need to understand that browsers now expose a powerful AI capability to any website, creating a new attack surface for malicious scripts, unauthorized compute usage, and data exfiltration through model queries.
