New Partnership Brings On-Device Deepfake Detection to Video Calls on Desktop

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29, 2026Scam.ai today announced a strategic partnership with Qualcomm and the launch of Halo, an innovative on-device deepfake detection model designed specifically for live video calls. Both announcements were unveiled at Computex 2026 in Taipei, where Scam.ai was prominently featured at Qualcomm's booth as part of the event's Agentic AI track, showcasing cutting-edge on-device deepfake detection technology.

"Deepfakes have rapidly risen as one of the major concerns for enterprises on multiple fronts. All traditional security measures are rendered ineffective once a human is breached," said Dennis Ng, co-founder of Scam.ai. "By checking the video securely and privately on-device, we're able to curb attacks from the source."

🔐 Strategic Partnership with Qualcomm

The Qualcomm partnership provides Scam.ai with access to extensive device ecosystem resources and optimization support, enabling Halo to run locally on personal computers without relying on cloud infrastructure. Halo operates seamlessly 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.

🎯 Target Users and Market Need

Halo is specifically designed for:

  • HR and recruiting teams conducting video interviews
  • High-value executives including CEOs, CFOs, and venture capitalists who take frequent, high-stakes calls

Identity fraud in video interviews has become a documented enforcement risk, with only 31% of HR leaders reporting they feel equipped to detect it. Deepfake fraud attempts have increased over 2,000% in the past three years, highlighting the urgent need for advanced detection solutions.

⚡ Key Capabilities

✓ Real-time Detection:
Identifies synthetic video during a live call, not after the fact

✓ On-Device Processing:
No video footage leaves the user's computer, ensuring maximum privacy and security

✓ Passive Operation:
Runs in the background with no change to existing call workflows

Halo is available June 2026. Enterprise integration details and additional platform partnerships will be announced in the coming months.
