skoularidou · x · 2026-10-05
Google DeepMind (including Demis Hassabis, Arnaud Doucet, Valentin De Bortoli) published an open-access Nature paper, "Function-preserving watermarking of AI-generated proteins."
- With AlphaFold 3 and protein design models accelerating biology, provenance of AI-generated protein sequences is increasingly critical
- The method embeds watermarks into AI-generated proteins without compromising their function, enabling tracking and verification against emerging risks
- The paper has already drawn 28k accesses since publication.
