"Cross-Cultural Analysis of AI Adoption: Implications for Policy and Practice" examines how cultural differences influence AI adoption. The study identifies key cultural factors affecting AI acceptance and usage, providing policy recommendations to ensure culturally sensitive and effective AI deployment. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners aiming to tailor AI strategies to diverse cultural contexts.

The adoption and acceptance of AI technologies are profoundly influenced by cultural nuances. Our study highlights the need for culturally tailored policies to ensure that AI implementation is both effective and respectful of diverse societal values.
