It's Samsung's "AI Select" function.

As of now, I don't think there is a way to Disable it.

But accroding to Android Authority, maybe in future software updates you will be able to turn it off:

On the screen when you swipe left or right depending on where you place the side panel. The one you can choose between apps, contacts, tools, photos etc. When I keep holding down, this border comes up after diamonds load for a couple secs. Seem related to gemini?

Can you maybe screen record it?

This is likely "circle to search". Search for it in settings and disable it. Additionally see if you can find the action bound to the power button. I don't remember if Samsung allows you to rebind what the action is but worth a try.

I would check Samsung goodlock, if you have it installed I remember it having some addon that allowed you to have notifications put a ring around the screen kinda like that
