We can replace the word slave by "continuously guided workforce/population". Slave masters could be then just "managers of continuously guided workforce". Slave markets would be "continuously guided workforce exchanges" etc.

Erm, it's probably best if the word "slave" kept its highly negative and polarized meaning...
