While the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is advancing globally, its pace varies significantly across nations. This study statistically examines the associations between Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and national-level AI readiness. A correlation analysis was conducted using data from the Oxford Insights’ “Government AI Readiness Index 2024” and Hofstede’s cultural dimension scores. The findings reveal that Individualism and Long-Term Orientation have a significant positive correlation with AI readiness, whereas Power Distance and Uncertainty Avoidance show a significant negative correlation. Conversely, Masculinity and Indulgence did not have a statistically significant relationship. These results suggest that national cultural characteristics are associated with differences in the adoption of advanced technologies such as AI. To contextualize the statistics, we include an illustrative, non-causal comparison of Japan, the United States, and Singapore.
