The use of counterfactuals for considerations of algorithmic fairness and explainability is gaining prominence within the machine learning community and industry. Best can be defined in a variety of ways, including quality, clarity, originality, interdisciplinarity and significance. Although these systems may bring myriad benefits, they also contain inherent risks, such as codifying and entrenching biases; reducing accountability, and hindering due process; they also increase the information asymmetry between individuals whose data feed into these systems and big players capable of inferring potentially relevant information.
