"Mitigating the Risks of Weaponizing AI-Designed Proteins: Safety Guidelines and Unlearning Techniques"
TL;DR Summary
Scientists are calling for the safe and ethical use of AI-designed proteins to prevent potential bioweaponization, as AI tools have advanced the capacity to design new proteins. An initiative has been launched to encourage self-regulation within the biodesign community, including the establishment of expert committees to review software and improved screening of DNA synthesis. While some experts advocate for government regulation to address biosecurity risks, others fear it could hinder the development of beneficial applications of AI-designed proteins.
