Raised in Harlem, New York, his intellectual trajectory is inseparable from lived experience inside the very systems he now studies. Delante is the creator of the Attention Safeguard Models (ASM), an active, applied system for measuring digital attention as a finite, socially stratified resource, and the Cognitive Attentional Standards Platform (C.A.S.), an operational system that uses ASM scoring to evaluate digital platforms and measure digital attention harm.
