Abstract
This research investigates the influence of cultural values, trust in institutions, and moral principles on the public's acceptance of AI surveillance technologies. As AI-based monitoring systems become more integrated into various aspects of life, their interpretation and legitimacy differ significantly across different cultures. Utilizing cross-cultural theory and case studies, this study explores how societies view the trade-offs between security and privacy, efficiency and autonomy, and trust and control. It examines how cultural meanings shape the perception of AI surveillance as either a protective measure or a threat to civil liberties, and how institutional narratives support these views. The findings indicate that societies with higher levels of institutional trust and collectivist values tend to be more accepting of AI surveillance, whereas individualistic and low-trust environments show greater resistance and ethical concerns. The paper concludes by discussing the implications for global AI governance and culturally sensitive technology policies.
