UPDATE: Non-individual entities, including companies, NGOs, cooperatives, associations, and government agencies, have been urged to acquire Entity Registration Numbers (ERNs) to avoid future operational challenges. Arthur Kwesiga, the Commissioner for ICT and Innovations at @URSBHQ, says the move is intended to integrate organisations into the formal economy and government compliance systems.

Computer science is gradually returning to the domain of physicists, mathematicians, and electrical engineers as large language models automate much of what we currently call software engineering.
The field’s center of gravity is shifting away from manual code writing and toward deeper theoretical thinking, mathematical insight, and systems-level reasoning.
