It pitched its biggest projects around artificial intelligence, virtual reality and Android, the company's mobile operating system. >But while there were some jaw-dropping announcements -- a new AI tech called Duplex that works with Google's virtual Assistant is worth listening to -- what we didn't get was a whole lot of insight into how the world's biggest search company is thinking about its approach to privacy and data collection. ZDNet, CNET's sister site, points out that there was no mention of privacy, and only one mention of security during the entire two-hour keynote on Tuesday, led by CEO Sundar Pichai. It came during the section on Android, teasing a security session on Thursday.
