James Cameron on deep-sea exploration, dangers of AI and Titan tragedy | CTV NEWS EXCLUSIVE 

James Cameron is a gift to the world.. he never fails to spark curiosity and insight.

Congratulations James Cameron for this award and honor. If anyone deserves it, you certainly do. You're an innovator and explorer, but you've done it with great dignity, while maintaining respect for the ocean and environment, as well as making safety a top priority with rigorous testing and certification. Exploring our vast oceans means nothing if you can't make it back to share your experience. Dr. McGinnis, as your mentor, is a legend as well. I sure hope that future explorers take heed to what you said right after the Titan imploded; that both the Titanic and the Titan sub disasters were about leaders ignoring warnings and both could have been prevented and lives saved.

Paul-Henri Nargeolet and Joe McInnis were both born on the same day, March 2nd...Amazing!

I love that, he makes movies so he can go exploring. Beautiful.

I respect this guy. His story about his teacher was interesting, to say the least.

James is frickin amazing

A really beautiful, inspiring talk!

Congratulations Jim 🇨🇦!

these Canadians have the right stuff total admiration

I could listen to anything James Cameron had to say and find value in it. This was inspirational, and both these men have changed our understanding of the ocean forever. Thanks you for all your courageous endeavors and explorations.

So much respect to James Cameron. He has achieved so much and surely with determination and hard work. To hear his emphatic views on leadership just makes him even better. He is fascinated by the Titanic just like any other Titanic fan but had all the right qualities to pursue things the rest could or would not. I was in awe in 1997 that someone finally managed to do a Titanic movie as it should have been done. Of course he blew the budget - that was needed to do the uncompromising movie. Otherwise someone else could have done it.

James Cameron should get his degree in oceanography

Bravooo Mr James Cameron!

I really appreciate this video, so much respect for James and his mentor, i wish that the incident with Titan could have been avoided, unfortunately not the case, but i definitely believe that any future dives will be much more focused on certification, safety, and even more closely monitored, prayers to the families of this very sad incident, maybe going forward in the aftermath of this tragedy James can help in advice with safety issues and problems with submarine materials, to offer his expertise to solo submarine builders of the do's and don't's and companies that manufacture submarines, really enjoyed the video.

Great interview! Thank you! 💜

Congratulations James u deserve those awards and more. 👍😊

I like how he said we should explore what's going on at the sea's surface before figuring out the deepest depths of space or the ocean

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled."- Richard Feynman on the Challenger explosion

43:42 the titan accident is a classic example of ignoring the history and repeating it

From lowering a mouse a few meters into a river to lowering himself 11000 meters into the ocean is quite the journey. Very well deserved award.

I was surprised, how ill equipped we are when it comes to deep waters. Brave souls who go on these adventures!

A whole hour and nobody asked him when The Abyss and Strange Days are getting blu-ray releases. Sigh

👍 From Calgary

I could listen to james for hrs no matter what topic. He is a really smart person

I could listen to James Cameron talk all day, he’s amazing in what he does. Hopefully things change in the deep diving community so there is never a repeat of what happened to the titan

Wow...❤

omg where was this held. dont tell me i missed a potential chance to be in the same room as this genius.

I watched the Deep challenger dive he went on that takes bravery to a new level! To go down to like 30,000 ft in a submersible is just as scary as i can imagine!

I so wish I could meet them.

His mentor is hilarious! I absolutely love his sense of humor. He also has a great memory, I can barely recall things I did yesterday and he went all the way back to when James was 14, OMG 😱! Absolutely amazing❤

Jim is a living legend

congratulations james 👏🏻

Thank you Mr. Perry Bellgard for your Speach love your Story of the Water and Mother Earth. Thank you Mr. James Cameron for all your Documentaries i just can't get enough. You have such a beautiful intelligent mind. You touch a little about AI i would love to be to just sit and listen about all your views. Thank you for all your exploring and Adventures look forward to more in the future.

And what he said about how so much more is explored about space than our oceans is so true

Oh, I wish I was there too, specially for the cocktail session 😍🥰🥰🤣😅😆

That is probably the coolest shirt I've ever seen.

Mr. Cameron im so very Proud that your a Canadian. So you never mention if you ever got sent that Blue Print ?

As great as a filmmaker that he is, he's even a better engineer.

James Cameron, the greatest pioneer & explorer of the sea! :)

So sad for those who died on Titan this is a great insight

We need James Cameron to be immortal from a physicality perspective. Has anyone thought about cloning him? He is a pioneer in filmmaking and deep-sea exploration. We need him to be always there making wonderful films and exploring new depths.

Excellent ❤

That Deepwater horizon story is really interesting. And sad. And likely analogous to many other stories of governmental/departmental paralysis.

Titan was ill equipped this submersible if one call it a sub for how badly it was built with off the shelf parts etc scrap metal ballast weights etc carbon hull no certification or testing on how far this sub can dive to such depths safely .....especially Titanic's final resting place 12.5000 feet

Norman from Mauritius. I see you.

Why would the government afraid take the advice from James Cameron on Deepwater Horizon incident?

i appreciate his words, but how many ppl are going to have the path like he did, i mean it still super rare, so its hard to grasp and believe, prove me wrong

Blame Canada! 😂❤

James Cameron for President 2024

It’s so wild seeing casual humor conveyed at an event which is supposed to discuss a tragedy.

WHAT A GREAT SHOW INDEAD ,SORRY I ONLY GOT YOU FOR 25MINS LIVE. I THOUGHT 59:59 / 1:00:25 James Cameron WAS ONLY A MOVIE MAKER I DIDN'T THINK HE DID TRIPS TO THE OCEAN. AS FOR ME I STARTED OF AS A MACHINESST AND INDEAD UP IN A gm DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 20YRS FROM 1977 ON. BUT I WANT TO SAY IS WHO HAS PICKED UP STATIC ELECTRICITY AND SENT SOMEONE ACROSS THE ROOM AND YOU NEVER TOUCHED THEM,BUT THE PERSON TOUCHED THEM? P1

stockton rush had a degree in aero space engineering, you would think he would know better than to just slap a vehicle together quick and dirty and start doing repeated dives in it, carbon fiber is unsuitable for that task, you would think he would know better ???

When talking about AI: His argument is ( 27:00 ) ... Is that in order to create a chatbot, that it takes up lots of land and a lot of enegery; yes that's true. He also talks within the same conversation about quantumn computing. What happens when AI is based not off server farms, but servers are based from quantumn computing; there will no need for thousands within a data centre; This isn't too far away. Even if a chatbot takes up that much space, what difference does it make, big tech is still going to do it, and they should against digital war.

chipawwa falls Dawson!

James Camerons Involvement with Deepwater Horizon Catastrophy and how to work with Government from 28:55 to 36:41

So glad his teacher gave him positive reinforcement……after finding out he has a high iq.

I'm waiting for Avatar 3.

720p? Really? In 2023?

👍🐝🌈🙌🏿🧇

Ya Allah ❤

Admire James for a lot of things. His sense of self is not one of them. He’s a grown boy who was given free reign to do as he pleased, and if you didn’t go along then you were finished. He’s part amazing, part insufferable.

Boring

omg where was this held. dont tell me i missed a potential chance to be in the same room as this genius.

Ya Allah ❤
