Tony Czarnecki – Managing Partner
Tony is a futurist, who spent most of his life working world-wide as a consultant for large global companies. In 1996, he founded SUSTENSIS, a Management Consultancy focusing on Business Sustainability, which tried to answer the question: “How can companies survive for ever?”, obviously not literally. During that time, Sustensis included over 50 partners. In 2012 Sustensis was converted into a Think Tank on Humanity’s transition to coexistence with Superintelligence, when Tony realised that perhaps it is time to ask: “How can human species be preserved for ever?” No wonder then, that Tony is a long-time member of the London Futurists.
Tony has lectured on postgraduate courses at Universities in Central Europe and the University of London where he has also been a mentor for postgraduate students. He is the author of six books on AI: “Who could save Humanity from Superintelligence?”, “Federate to Survive!“, “Democracy for a Human Federation” and “Becoming a Butterfly – Extinction or Evolution? Will Humans Survive Beyond 2050? “ “2030- Towards the Big Consensus… Or loss of control over our future“, His most recent book, released in July 2023 is “Prevail or Fail: A Civilisational Shift to the World of Transhumans“.
Tony provides most of the contents of the website supported by other collaborators.
Dr Bruce Lloyd – Member of the Advisory Bord
Dr Bruce Lloyd, Emeritus Professor of Strategic Management, London South Bank University. Spent over 20 years in industry and finance before joining the academic world thirty years ago to help establish the Management Centre at what is now London South Bank University. Since the late 1960’s he has written extensively (about 200 published articles) on a wide range of strategy/futures related issues. Bruce is a member of Chatham House and London Futurists.
Dr Daniel Bromley – Neuromorphic computing in nanomagnetic arrays
Daniel is a condensed matter physicist focused on pushing the boundaries of how we build the next generation of AI hardware. At Sustensis, Daniel is applying his skills in the area of neuromorphic computing.
Day to day, he can usually be found in the lab, using light to interact with nanomagnets to develop computing architectures inspired by the brain. Daniel completed his PhD in condensed matter physics at Liverpool in 2023, following a BSc and MPhys (International) in Physics from Leeds, including a year in Canada. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Imperial College London.
His work builds on insights from his colleagues Jack Gartside et al. at Imperial, whose landmark paper on neuromorphic computing in nanomagnetic arrays laid important groundwork in the field as exemplified by this ground-breaking article in Nature. Daniel is now exploring how light can increase the dimensionality of interactions in these magnetic systems, overcoming the limitations of global 1D field control and enabling richer, scalable computation for potential future AI systems and deep-tech computing applications.
Beyond the lab, Daniel serves as an ambassador for Casus Pax, supporting humanitarian missions on the Ukrainian frontlines and raising funds in the UK to help those affected by conflict. He has also completed the highly selective Entrepreneur First programme, reflecting his deep interest in bridging cutting-edge science with real-world impact through entrepreneurship. It was during this time that he became deeply aware of AI’s vast potential, its intersection with science, and how it can be harnessed to benefit society.
Dr David Wood – Member of the Advisory Bord
Dr David Wood,
David is the founder and chair of London Futurists. He spent 25 years as a pioneer of the mobile computing and smartphone industries, including co-founding Symbian in 1998 – the creator of the world’s first successful smartphone operating system. The author or lead editor of ten books about the future, including Smartphones and Beyond, The Abolition of Aging, Sustainable Superabundance, and Vital Foresight. Board Director of the Institute of Ethics and Emerging Technologies (IEET).
Robbie Frazer – Co-evolution of AI and humanity
Robbie is an entrepreneur and tech investor. He has started and led companies in the UK, the US, Asia and Australia in a variety of industries including SaaS, financial services and training. Several of these ventures expanded internationally. He invests in tech and biotech start-ups and mentors business founders.
Robbie has a degree in genetics and an MBA.
His interests centre on the evolution of AI-human societies, including relationships, mutual utility, and the future of meaning.
Sam Sanderson – AI Alignment with ConsensusAI
Sam’s role at Sustensis is to support AI Alignment with our own approach ConsensusAI. His interest in the subject of AI ethics started very early with his first essay on ‘the ethics of achieving transhumanism with nanotechnology’ written when he was 16. That’s why he sees himself as bio-ethicist. He was studying biomedical engineering BEng at Reading University with a focus on cybernetics & soft robotics, followed by a masters in bioscience & business enterprise MSc at UCL. Sam has always been focused on pushing the limits of human capabilities through biotechnology. He has spent the last few years working in tech and engineering start-ups, developing internal tools and business strategy, alongside freelance work building pitch decks, business plans, and financial models for pre-seed start-ups.
Jonathan Clare – AI assisted government decision-making
Jonathan’s science and business degree at Royal Holloway University of London, postgraduate studies in international relations and AI and Ethics at the London School of Economics, as well as postgraduate studies in National Security at Kings College London, opened for him a distinguished career in diplomacy and international relations. He spent over 20 years in senior executive positions in public relations, international trade, investment, business development, and risk analysis.
That experience spanning Latin America and South and Central Asia where he directed political, press and public affairs, as well as security departments has been extended over the last years into AI ethics, existential risks, and AI-assisted government decision making. That’s why at Sustensis, Jonathan is responsible for deploying our Consensus-AI services, currently focused on Citizens’ Assemblies, into local and central government.
Dr. Antonio Di Fenza – AI Control and Transhumanism
Antonio is a creative and critical thinker, a Ph.D. graduate from Cornell University with focus on incorporating AI into various areas of human activity. He weaves technological and cultural threads into multidimensional aspects of AI-driven human evolution. This focuses on the creation of first Transhumans, initially selected from the most advanced AI companies to control AI ‘from inside’ like in this article. His long-term goal is to help usher in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), our gate to the Singularity.
As a futurist, he tracks the development of AI and teaches at seminars on various aspects of AI, educating people about the new frontiers of AI and creativity.
