automatize

Remove human intervention

Automatize means to make something automatic—either literally through automation or figuratively by converting a conscious process into an unconscious one.

In psychology, skills become automatized through practice until they require no deliberate thought: After enough repetition, the fingering becomes automatized.

The word overlaps with automate but carries a stronger sense of internal, cognitive automation rather than mechanical.
