Scam.ai partners with Qualcomm to launch Halo deepfake detection tool for live video calls

1. New Deepfake Detection Tool

On June 29, 2026, at Computex in Taipei, the company Scam.ai announced the launch of Halo, a new software model designed to detect deepfakes during live video calls. The tool is intended to assist enterprises in identifying synthetic or AI-generated video in real time. It is specifically targeted at high-stakes professional environments, such as HR recruitment interviews and executive communications, where identity fraud has become an increasing security risk.

2. Partnership with Qualcomm

The launch of Halo is supported by a new partnership between Scam.ai and Qualcomm. This collaboration provides Scam.ai with access to Qualcomm’s device ecosystem and technical optimization resources. As a result, Halo is designed to run locally on Qualcomm-powered desktop computers. By processing video data on-device rather than in the cloud, the software aims to provide a secure and private detection method that operates in the background without disrupting existing video conferencing workflows.

3. Addressing Security Risks

Scam.ai developed the tool in response to a significant rise in deepfake fraud, which the company reports has increased by over 2,000% in the last three years. According to the company, many organizations currently lack the necessary tools to verify the authenticity of video participants, with only 31% of HR leaders feeling equipped to handle such threats. Halo is available as of June 2026, with further details regarding enterprise integration and additional platform partnerships expected to be released in the coming months.
