### Conclusion
- Beck (1992) & Slovic (1987) - Structural vs. transient nature of paradox

## Theoretical Frameworks Applied

### 1. Risk Society Theory (Beck 1992)
- **Application**: Explains how AI represents both progress and systemic risk
- **Key Insight**: Technology paradoxes may be structural rather than transient

### 2. Cognitive Polyphasia (Jovchelovitch 2002)
- **Application**: Framework for understanding simultaneous contradictory beliefs
- **Key Insight**: Ambivalence is cognitively normal, not pathological

### 3. Dual Attitudes Model (Wilson et al. 2000)
- **Application**: Explains maintenance of conflicting attitudes without dissonance
- **Key Insight**: Users can be both enthusiastic and concerned simultaneously

### 4. Technology Paradoxes (Mick & Fournier 1998)
- **Application**: Eight central paradoxes of technology adoption
- **Key Insight**: Ambivalence is inherent to technology use

### 5. Sociotechnical Imaginaries (Jasanoff & Kim 2015)
- **Application**: Collective visions of technological futures
- **Key Insight**: Societies imagine AI as both utopian and dystopian
