Abstract

This study examines the extent to which the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) at the enterprise level in Europe is shaped by government institutional readiness and national cultural dimensions.

Using a multiple linear regression model with interaction terms, the study tests the direct and moderating effects of these factors on the proportion of businesses using AI technologies. The results confirm that government institutional readiness exerts a significant positive effect on AI adoption (β = .450, p = .006), explaining 52.4% of the variation in adoption (R² = .524, F = 7.147, p
