Abstract
We query LLMs to estimate the moral norms of 48 nations and compare them to actual cross-cultural survey data (n=90,802). Our findings indicate that LLMs more accurately reflect the moral values of Western societies while inaccurately stereotyping the moral values of non-Western populations, especially those in the Middle East.
