Scam.ai today announced a partnership with Qualcomm and the launch of Halo, an on-device deepfake detection model for live video calls. Both announcements were made at Computex 2026 in Taipei, where Scam.ai was featured at Qualcomm's booth as part of the event's Agentic AI track, showcasing the latest in on-device deepfake detection technology. The Qualcomm partnership gives Scam.ai access to device ecosystem resources and optimization support, enabling Halo to run locally on personal computers without relying on cloud infrastructure.
Scam.ai announces Qualcomm partnership and Halo deepfake detection model at Computex 2026.
Halo runs on-device for live video calls without cloud infrastructure.
Deepfake fraud attempts increased over 2,000% in the past three years.
Only 31% of HR leaders feel equipped to detect deepfake fraud in interviews.
Halo operates passively in the background of any video conferencing session.
Available June 2026 with enterprise integration details to follow.
Dennis Ng, co-founder of Scam.ai, stated: "Deepfakes has rapidly risen as one of the major concerns for enterprises in multiple fronts, all traditional security measures are oblivious once a human is breached. By checking the video securely and privately on-device, we're able to curb attacks from the source." Halo operates in the background of any video conferencing session and flags synthetic or AI-generated video in real time. The product is optimized for Qualcomm-powered devices and runs on desktop computers.
Deepfake fraud attempts have increased over 2,000% in the past three years, making it one of the fastest-growing threats to enterprise security. HR and recruiting teams conducting video interviews, and high-value executives including CEOs, CFOs, and venture capitalists who take frequent, high-stakes calls are particularly vulnerable. Identity fraud in video interviews has become a documented enforcement risk, with only 31% of HR leaders reporting they feel equipped to detect it. Halo addresses this gap by providing real-time detection that identifies synthetic video during a live call, not after.
Halo delivers real-time detection identifying synthetic video during a live call, on-device processing ensuring no video footage leaves the user's computer, and passive operation running in the background with no change to existing call workflows. This privacy-preserving approach ensures that sensitive video data never leaves the user's device, addressing enterprise concerns about data security and compliance. Halo is available June 2026, with enterprise integration details and additional platform partnerships to be announced in the coming months.
