Following the fatal shooting on the set of the Rust film, Alec Baldwin and other producers are now facing a new lawsuit

Rust’s script supervisor filed the lawsuit on Wednesday denying that the script ever involved the need for Baldwin to fire the shot that killed the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

She says the actor “chose to play Russian roulette with a loaded gun without checking it and without having the armorer do so.

His behaviour and that of the producers were intentional acts and/or omissions, without any just cause or excuse and with utter disregard of the consequences”.

The script supervisor says he was standing less than 4 feet away from Baldwin when the incident occurred and has “sustained serious physical trauma and shock and injury”.

The other people accused include the film’s armorer, the assistant director and several production companies.

The new development comes only a week after Rust’s head of lighting filed a lawsuit against Baldwin and others for negligence that resulted in him suffering from “severe emotional distress”.

Some attorneys have suggested the possibility of the film being sabotaged but district attorney investigating the incident rejects the conspiracy theories.

AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.

The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.

Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.

Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.

These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.

Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.

Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.

Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.

AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
