...by “freedom” Hegel now means nothing transcendent but, in a more transcendental vein, the power that reason demonstrates over nature by transforming what would otherwise be just something physical into an object, by humanizing it through labor, and ultimately by making it re-exist, as Hegel says in the 1805/06 System, as the object of art, religion, and science. ”

-- Di Giovanni in “Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel: The Science of Logic.”

Imagine, we outsource this labor to learning/reasoning/inferring machines. What happens to the process of humanization?
