At the Computex 2026 technology conference in Taipei, cybersecurity startup Scam.ai announced a partnership with semiconductor manufacturer Qualcomm to launch Halo, an on-device deepfake detection model for live video calls. Demonstrated at Qualcomm’s exhibition booth during the Agentic AI track, Halo is optimized to run locally on personal computers using Qualcomm processors, avoiding transmission of sensitive video data to cloud servers. The system passively monitors standard video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, scanning real-time video for visual anomalies, compression artifacts, and behavioral inconsistencies. When synthetic media is detected, Halo immediately flags the feed to alert the user.
