When and where (publication, broadcast, or social media) did Dr. Sanjay Gupta comment on Neurocept?

1. What Dr. Gupta actually said — a CNN report and his public denouncement

CNN published a report on July 31, 2025, showing that Dr. Sanjay Gupta “speaks out after discovering scammers are using his likeness in AI deepfake videos and doctored images to sell bogus health cures and fake health products” ^[1]. That piece is the direct, sourced instance in which Gupta publicly denounced the use of AI to fabricate his voice and image for fraudulent health advertisements ^[1].

2. Where Neurocept comes into the conversation — consumer-warnings and deepfake claims

Independent consumer-warning coverage about Neurocept characterizes the product’s marketing as relying on polished videos that falsely present endorsements from trusted figures, naming Dr. Gupta among those whose likenesses appear in the scam ads; these articles frame Neurocept as “a scam supplement propped up by deepfake ads” and explicitly state there is “no endorsement from Dr. Sanjay Gupta” ^[2]. That reporting is investigative/commentary rather than a primary quote from Gupta ^[2].

3. Timing and matching of claims — Gupta’s July 31, 2025 statement vs. later write-ups

Gupta’s denouncement runs in CNN on July 31, 2025 and addresses a broader problem of scammers using his likeness in AI-generated materials to sell bogus health remedies ^[1]. Subsequent consumer-focused posts about Neurocept (for example the September 3, 2025 piece) tie the Neurocept ads to the same deepfake phenomenon and assert Gupta’s image was used, but those posts do not replace or supersede Gupta’s own statement; they reference the same pattern of deceptive advertising ^[2].

4. What the available sources do not show — no direct quote linking Gupta by name to Neurocept specifically

Available sources do not mention a direct, named quote from Dr. Gupta saying “Neurocept” aloud or that he addressed Neurocept by name in a particular broadcast or social-media post. CNN’s reporting documents Gupta condemning AI-created fake product ads generally, and Neurocept-focused write-ups allege that the product’s ads used deepfakes of Gupta; however, the consumer-warning piece is not presented as a primary Gupta statement, and it does not cite Gupta saying he was endorsing Neurocept ^{[1] [2]}.

5. Competing perspectives and reliability of evidence

The CNN story is a primary, mainstream news source reporting Gupta’s public complaint about AI misuse ^[1]. The Neurocept article is an investigative/consumer-alert webpage that asserts the product’s marketing uses deepfaked endorsements and explicitly states “no endorsement from Dr. Sanjay Gupta or anyone else” ^[2]. Readers should note the difference in source type: CNN reports Gupta’s own denouncement of AI deepfakes broadly ^[1], while the Neurocept piece is an exposé which attributes specific deepfake usage to Neurocept’s ads ^[2].

6. What to watch next — verification and provenance

To confirm whether Dr. Gupta ever named Neurocept specifically in a broadcast, social post, or interview, one should seek direct primary material: an on-camera segment, a written statement from Gupta or CNN that names Neurocept, or the original Neurocept ad files and timestamps. Available sources do not mention such a primary statement naming Neurocept; the CNN piece documents Gupta’s broader denouncement of fake ads, and the consumer-alert article alleges Neurocept used deepfakes including Gupta’s likeness ^{[1] [2]}.
