Analysis of Current AI Resilience
Artist/Performer Manager
Updated Quarterly • Last Update: 2/17/2026
What's changing and what's not
Agents and business managers already use technology to handle many routine tasks. For example, AI-powered tools can automatically build travel and performance itineraries. Google’s “AI Mode” can plan trips and even book flights or hotels based on simple requests [1].
Likewise, apps exist that scan concert and sports ticket sites to find the best prices, handling ticket buying in one go [2] [3]. There are also AI scheduling assistants that organize calendars and bookings for you [4]. Even billing and commission tracking often use automated accounting systems.
These tools mean agents spend less time on details like travel planning, ticket sales, or scheduling.
However, many core tasks still need humans. Creative strategy sessions, negotiating contracts, and building personal relationships can’t be fully automated. Experts note that AI “agents” tend to amplify human work rather than replace it [1].
In practice, most AI currently augments agents – for example by doing routine scheduling or data-searching – while the agent focuses on strategy and personal advice. Auditions and career meetings require a human touch and trust in personal judgment, so those remain people-driven for now.

AI in the real world
AI technology is widely available for things like scheduling, travel planning, or online marketing, so some agencies can adopt these tools easily. For example, Google and other companies offer free AI features (like travel planning) that cost little more than existing labor [1]. This means clubs and agencies could save money on booking logistics and basic admin.
On the other hand, the entertainment and sports management field is relatively small (about 13,000 U.S. agents) [5], so big AI investments may be slow. Agents often work closely with clients, so fans and talent expect a human touch. Legal and ethical rules (for contracts or branding) also mean agents must check AI outputs.
Still, many business leaders believe AI can give a strong advantage [1]. The key will be using AI to handle repetitive tasks (like finding flights or scanning venues), freeing agents to spend more time on personal career advice. In short, AI tools are already helping with routine work, but people skills – creativity, judgment and relationship-building – will stay crucial and give agents hope to do more meaningful work with technology’s help [1] [1].
