Innovation Enables Responsibility: Watermarking to Strengthen DNA Synthesis Screening
In a world where motivated actors can use biological AI tools to evade DNA synthesis screening, how can DNA providers be more confident that the sequences they assemble and ship are safe? Google DeepMind’s biosecurity and provenance teams have developed SynthID Bio, a technical proof-of-concept for watermarking AI-generated protein sequences and structures without degrading their function.
