A national awareness campaign on AI-enabled scams & responsible AI use. As artificial intelligence becomes more powerful, scammers use it to craft convincing deepfakes, impersonate trusted contacts, and fool people into sharing sensitive information. Meanwhile, millions of people are unknowingly feeding AI tools private or work-related data without understanding where it goes. Learn how to use AI safely!
The threat of cybercrime seems to be everywhere.
That’s why the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) created AI Fools Week 2025—a one-week awareness campaign (March 31–April 4, 2025) dedicated to educating the public about AI security and privacy.
Why AIpril matters
AI is already here. And while it brings innovation, it also brings risks:
- AI-powered scams are harder to spot—deepfakes and AI-generated phishing emails look more real than ever.
- People are oversharing with AI tools—The NCA 2024 Oh Behave survey found that 38% of users have shared sensitive work information with AI without their employer’s knowledge.
- Misinformation is growing—AI can generate realistic but completely false content, making it harder to tell fact from fiction.
- AI Fools helps you stay ahead by giving you the knowledge to recognize AI threats and use AI safely.
