## AI overview

This article presents five threat-model diagrams for machine learning systems. The diagrams distinguish threats to and from ML systems, illustrate data flows and responses, and examine how training-data sources and system-design decisions can create risks. The author emphasizes that the diagrams are illustrative rather than complete and notes uncertainty about the model of how Twitter content reached Microsoft's Tay.
