SAS on Machine Learning

Good, high level, largely non technical view of machine learning from SAS:  Machine Learning ... What it is & why it matters  Machine learning is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model building. Using algorithms that iteratively learn from data, machine learning allows computers to find hidden insights without being explicitly programmed where to look. .... " 

I add:  Course its not only about the data analytics.  Its also how decisions create data and use data to alter their progress.  The alteration has the potential to create value.  So don't forget to capture the decision process.
