INTERNET AND SOFTWARE GIANT Google has denied that it is adding facial recognition to its Google Goggles smartphone app, saying it needs to address privacy concerns first.
CNN reported that the company was working on a facial recognition application, citing comments from Hartmut Neven, director of image recognition engineering at Google. Google has denied that it has any current plans to implement such a feature.

Google said it is "still working" on those privacy protections and has nothing to announce about them at present.
