Audrey Schomer Note: This article is based on Variety Intelligence Platform’s special report “Generative AI & Entertainment,” available only to subscribers. Generative AI already surpasses human creative capabilities with existing tools in two key respects: speed and cost of production. One of the first major benefits of introducing gen AI to production pipelines is its ability to unlock substantial new efficiencies for content creation, in effect translating to greater productivity, time saved and lower costs. But there are also expected byproducts of improved efficiencies, including the potential for higher-quality work and more new creators able to create that high-quality work. Freedom from repetitive and labor-intensive tasks gives artists back time and money to develop, test and iterate ideas, thus theoretically improving their quality downstream. Reduced costs, resources and skills required to work with AI tools and create are also expected to lower barriers to content creation and bring a democratizing effect and a surge of creators.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic U2 has announced the first dates this fall for a series of shows being billed as “U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere” — just five nights in late September and early October, for now, although the possibility of more shows being added seems more like a probability. The ambition and logistical planning of creating a unique show for Sphere, the world’s most technologically advanced space for music, certainly ultimately augurs for a longer run, even if U2 has studiously been avoiding sticking around Vegas quite long enough to merit the avoided word “residency.” U2’s guitarist, the Edge, got on a Zoom with Variety last week to discuss the enormously ambitious run of shows, following a demonstration of the design and technology for Sphere that was held for a handful of media representatives at a scale model of the building in Burbank. Although the concerts will be themed around the 1991 “Achtung Baby” album (with the “UV” in the show’s title referring to the album track “Ultraviolet”), the Edge said that Sphere itself was the reason for conceiving the new show. “When we found out about what this venue was really offering us creatively, we kind of saw it as a throwdown … as a challenge,” he says.
