AI Resilience Report forAgents and Business Managers of Artists, Performers, and Athletes
Agents and Business Managers of Artists, Performers, and Athletes are somewhat less resilient to AI impacts than most occupations, according to our analysis of 7 sources.
This career is "Somewhat Resilient" because while AI is genuinely changing how agents and managers do their jobs day-to-day, the most important parts of the work — building trust with clients, negotiating deals, and making big-picture career decisions — still require a real human touch that AI can't replicate. Tools like AI sentiment analysis, customized assistants, and admin automation are already being used to handle routine tasks, which means the job is shifting rather than disappearing.

Artist/Performer Manager
Updated Quarterly • Last Update: 5/14/2026
How is AI changing Artist/Performer Manager jobs?
Right now, AI is mostly augmenting agents and business managers rather than replacing them. Representatives for Priyanka Chopra Jonas used AI tools including Grok and ChatGPT to measure and analyze viewer sentiment, and found that their client was the main driver of a film's success, giving them hard data to use in Hollywood talent negotiations [1]. On the agency side, an NYC talent agency built "Ari," a customized ChatGPT assistant [2] that helps over 300 actor clients run lines and access agency resources 24/7, with the owner planning to scale his roster to 1,000 clients using AI.
Music has its own version: a recent Billboard story on the agentic-AI platform Patchbay [3] describes tools that streamline admin work for artist management teams. Sports reps are also gaining AI scouting and analytics tools, with PwC's 2026 outlook on AI agents in sports [4] noting reshaping of scouting, operations, and fan engagement. Still, the most human tasks — career strategy, relationship building, and auditions — remain hands-on.

How fast is AI adoption growing for Artist/Performer Manager?
Adoption is happening fast at the assistant and admin level. Hollywood support staff are using AI in daily, consistent use for tasks small and large, from composing emails to using AI notetakers in studio meetings, according to The Hollywood Reporter [5]. Cheap tools speed this up — Kim customized his assistant using the $20-a-month tier of OpenAI's ChatGPT.
But adoption faces real brakes: "shadow AI" use — pasting client schedules and deal terms into public AI tools without security oversight creates privacy risks, and unions are pushing back, with TechTarget reporting that widespread AI use in sports is still nascent [6] and the BLS noting employment projections now incorporate AI impacts [7]. The good news for young people: relationships, trust, and creative judgment — the heart of this job — are still very human strengths.
