Machine Learning or Artificial Intelligence algorithms have gained
considerable scrutiny in recent times owing to their propensity towards
imitating and amplifying existing prejudices in society. This has led to a
niche but growing body of work that identifies and attempts to fix these
biases. A first step towards making these algorithms more fair is designing
