The pope not only apologized for the role the Catholic Church played in legitimizing slavery, but he also warned about the dehumanization that could come from our increasing reliance on artificial intelligence. He tells us of new forms of slavery and colonialism that the digital revolution is fueling.

It seems that after more than 100 years the Catholic Church is finally coming to grip with some of the wise words of Bakunin and the other Anarchists. "Slavery may change its form or its name, but its essence remains the same...to be a slave is to be forced to work for someone else, just as to be a master is to live on someone else's work"
