Progress

in science rests on scientific discoveries which are not possible unless one is willing and able to test and sharpen the new theories and knowledge via practical

Hence

the stakeholders must walk a fine line to avoid abuse of

Hence

we must take steps to minimize the negative effect of these

on

and there are ways in which various parties like the scientific community, government bodies and NGOs can play a part. There are 2 broad ways of address

concern (1) by minimizing the number of

conducted to only the essential ones (2) by ensuring that we use all the available information and knowledge to minimize the risk of these

on well being of

. Let's expand: 1) Minimize the number of

: - Meta database of

- Use of AI and similar technologies to create simulations to the extent possible to avoid

without halting the engine of scientific discovery.
