The AI Identity Audit - Decision Audit Instrument A6 by Pranjal Sarkar

Most professionals trying to answer this question are asking the wrong version of it. The question is not "should I learn AI?" Everyone should. The real question is: should AI become your primary professional identity, or should it become the engine behind a domain identity you already have? These are two different career paths. One compounds your existing expertise. The other requires rebuilding credibility from scratch. This audit diagnoses which path makes sense for where you are right now.

What this instrument measures and the frameworks behind it

Dimension 1: Domain Transferability , How well does your existing expertise translate into value in an AI-augmented environment? Grounded in Selenko, Bankins, Shoss et al. (2022) functional identity perspective on AI and work, which frames professional identity as either threatened or enhanced by AI depending on the transferability of core functions.

Dimension 2: Domain Restructuring Speed , How fast is your specific domain reorganising around AI capabilities? Grounded in WEF Future of Jobs Report (2025) sector-specific restructuring timelines and IMF Working Paper analysis on AI adoption velocity across professions.

Dimension 3: AI Identity Signal Strength , How visible and credible is your AI capability in the market right now? Grounded in Deloitte AI Career Resilience Research (2024) which found that workers who actively signal AI capability see meaningfully different career outcomes from those who develop it quietly.

What this is not: A verdict on whether AI will displace your role. That is what A1 and A2 measure. This instrument is specifically about which career positioning strategy serves you best given your current profile.
