Ethics

Predicting the fitness of a protein sequence and capturing the distribution of natural proteins for generative purposes could be a powerful tool for protein design. If our technique or a future iteration thereof is adopted broadly, care should be taken in terms of the end use-cases of these designed samples and downstream effects to ensure safe, non-nefarious, and ethical applications. For projects in any domain, active oversight during project initiation, experimental optimization, and deployment phases should be put in place to ensure safe usage and limitation of unintended harmful effects.
