Impact Report

AI is shaping the world young people are growing up in, and understanding how it works, as well as its benefits and risks, is now essential.

That’s the goal of Experience AI, our global education programme created in collaboration with Google DeepMind. Today, as we celebrate three years of the programme, we’re sharing our latest impact report, highlighting how the programme is helping educators and young people around the world build the knowledge and confidence to engage with AI critically and responsibly.

From tens of thousands of educators to millions of learners

Since launching 3 years ago in April 2023, Experience AI has grown into a truly global initiative:

More than 30,000 educators trained, who can reach an estimated 2.9 million young people
Over 700,000 resource downloads across 180+ countries
A network of partners in 38 countries
Resources available in 19 languages

These numbers reflect the growing global demand for AI literacy teaching, and the power of partnerships to meet that need.

But the real impact is what happens in classrooms.

From “AI is complicated” to confident teaching

For John Pierce, a teacher at Mwingo Academy Primary School in Kenya, AI once felt out of reach. “I thought that AI was complicated — maybe a puzzle”

After taking part in Experience AI training, John’s perspective shifted. With structured lessons and ready-to-use resources, he now helps his students see AI as something they can understand and engage with.

“My learners are really enjoying the lessons… They keep asking, ‘Teacher, when are you having computer classes?’”

John’s experience reflects what we see across the programme: when teachers feel confident, students become curious, engaged, and motivated to learn more, often continuing those conversations beyond the classroom.

Building confidence, not just knowledge

A core focus of Experience AI is supporting educators, many of whom are new to teaching AI concepts. Our evaluation shows this approach is working:

93% of educators say the training increased their knowledge of AI concepts
87% report increased confidence in teaching AI

In Malaysia, educator Lee Siew Ling had previously struggled to explain AI concepts clearly. “Before this, I just shared simple examples… It was too hard to explain the concepts clearly to my students.”

With Experience AI resources, that changed. “The materials make it easier to teach AI… After using them, I became more confident to guide my students.”

By reducing preparation time and providing clear, structured lessons, the programme enables teachers to focus on what matters most: supporting their students’ learning.

Helping young people understand, and question, AI

The impact extends directly to learners. Across classrooms worldwide:

89% of students say they better understand what AI and machine learning are
87% say they better understand the benefits and risks of AI

This is critical. AI literacy isn’t just about using technology, it’s about understanding how it works, questioning it, and recognising its societal impact.

At Wymondham College in the UK, Head of Computing, Kim Williams highlights the value of having trusted, research-informed resources: “Experience AI gave us a real structure to follow… It helps us deal with misconceptions and gives students the right messages.”

Through these lessons, students are not just learning about AI, they are developing the critical thinking skills they need to navigate a world shaped by it.

A global effort to democratise AI education

Experience AI’s reach is only possible through collaboration. Working with partners around the world, we localise content to make it relevant to different cultures and contexts, ensuring that AI education is not only accessible, but meaningful.

This work has also been recognised globally. In 2025, Experience AI was named a laureate of the UNESCO King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa Prize for the Use of ICT in Education, highlighting its strong ethical foundations and international impact.

Looking ahead

We’re continuing to expand and evolve the programme, updating resources, developing new materials for different age groups, and growing our global partner network.

By the end of 2026, we expect to reach over 45,000 educators who can reach an estimated 4.4 million young people.

Because the challenge is clear: AI literacy should not be limited to a few. Every young person deserves the opportunity to understand and shape the technologies influencing their future.

Cyberattacks on Holocaust educational websites increased in 2022

Today we mark the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. We commemorate the victims that were robbed of their possessions, stripped of their rights, deported, starved, dehumanized and murdered by the Nazis and their accomplices. During the Holocaust and in the events that led to it, the Nazis exterminated one third of the European Jewish population. Six million Jews, along with countless other members of minority and disability groups, were murdered because the Nazis believed they were inferior.

Seventy eight years later, after the liberation of the infamous Auschwitz death camp, antisemitism still burns with hatred. According to a study performed by the Campaign Against Antisemitism organization on data provided by the UK Home Office, Jews are 500% more likely to be targeted by hate crime than any other faith group per capita.

Cyberattacks targeting Holocaust educational websites

From Cloudflare’s vantage point we can point to distressing findings as well. In 2021, cyberattacks on Holocaust educational websites doubled year over year. In 2021, one out of every 100 HTTP requests sent to Holocaust educational websites behind Cloudflare was part of an attack. In 2022, the share of those cyber attacks grew again by 49% YoY. Cyberattacks represented 1.6% of all traffic to Holocaust educational websites (almost 1 out of every 50 HTTP requests), as can be seen in the chart below in 2022.

We’re representing cyberattacks as a percentage to normalize natural growth of traffic to websites, mitigation methods and other potential data biases. But even if we look at the raw numbers, between 2021 and 2022, the absolute cyberattack traffic (in HTTP requests) that targeted Holocaust education websites behind Cloudflare grew by 640% in contrast to the total growth of 397% in the number of all requests (attack and non-attack HTTP requests).

(Please note that the graph starts in 95% in order to provide better visibility into the share of attacks)

The threat that Holocaust educational websites face is one that many other non-profit organizations face. In fact, in our most recent DDoS Trends report, non-profit organizations were the sixth most targeted industry. Ten percent of all traffic to non-profit websites behind Cloudflare was DDoS attack traffic.

However, nonprofits such as Holocaust educational organizations might not always have the resources to fend off attacks. For this reason, we provide free protection to at-risk groups across the world. We do this through Project Galileo. It helps keep vulnerable websites online. It provides free cyber security services for groups working in the arts, human rights, civil society, journalism, or democracy. As detailed in our recent Impact Report, in 2022, through Project Galileo, we protected vulnerable websites from an average of 59M cyber threats every day.

If you’re representing a vulnerable public interest group and want to protect your website with Project Galileo, please follow the steps and apply here. While you wait to hear back, you can also get started with our Free plan.

At Cloudflare, we remember and never forget.

Here at Cloudflare, some of us are descendants of Holocaust survivors. My grandparents escaped Nazi-occupied Poland after the German invasion. Sadly, my grandparents — as other elderly survivors, have already passed. I grew up hearing about their stories of bravery — and of deep torment. It’s not always easy to hear these stories, but we must — especially in times like these when war in Europe has been ongoing for almost a year now. We have the responsibility to ensure the world remembers and never forgets the atrocities of the Holocaust and what antisemitism, racism and hatred in general can lead to.

To this extent, a few months ago, here at the Cloudflare London office, we had the honor of hosting Janine Webber, recipient of the British Empire Medal (BEM) in an event hosted by Judeoflare, Cloudflare’s Jewish employee resource group. The event was made possible due to our partnership with the Holocaust Education Trust. And so in a fully packed auditorium and an oversubscribed Zoom call, we listen to Janine’s story of survival and bravery first hand. We asked questions and we learned.

We’re privileged to be able to share her story here with all of you via Cloudflare TV.
