This week, we were in Taipei for GTC Taipei and COMPUTEX 2026, where the momentum around AI was unmistakable. One clear theme stood out: AI is rapidly moving from the cloud to the edge, from model capability to real-world deployment, and from experimentation to mission-critical use cases.
We are excited to share that xNova VC portfolio company Scam AI is demoing with Qualcomm at COMPUTEX 2026, showcasing its on-device AI deepfake detection capabilities on Snapdragon X2 Series-powered laptops.
As virtual meetings, remote collaboration, online transactions, and digital identity verification become increasingly central to how businesses operate, the ability to detect deepfakes in real time is becoming a critical layer of trust and security. For many sensitive use cases, this capability must be private, low-latency, and available directly on the device — without relying solely on cloud-based processing.
Scam AI’s work represents an important step toward making AI-powered security more accessible, privacy-preserving, and scalable across everyday computing environments.
At xNova VC, we continue to focus on AI-native and deep tech companies that bring advanced AI capabilities into real-world applications. From AI infrastructure to physical AI to AI security, we believe the next generation of breakout companies will be defined not only by model performance, but by their ability to solve concrete, high-value problems at scale.
Congratulations to the Scam AI team on this exciting milestone. It was great to see Silicon Valley AI innovation deeply connected with the global technology ecosystem here in Taipei.
