UGANDA E-ACCOUNTING TOOL LAUNCHED:

PSST Dr. @rggoobi who is also the Acting Minister of Finance,Planning and Economic Development has today launched the simplified E-Accounting tool,a digital transformation initiative designed to transition small informal enterprises (SIEs) into high-growth,compliant
medium-sized entities.

The tool was developed by UN-Trade & Development as part of technical assistance to Informality Management for Compliance and Revenue Mobilisation (IMCORE) Program.

The PSST @rggoobi said small and medium enterprises are central to Uganda's economy,contributing significantly to employment and income generation.

The informal sector has over
1.8 million micro,small and medium enterprises,mostly operated by women,youth & refugees. They contribute 54.5% of our GDP and account for 92% of employment.

Dr.Ggoobi said a key structural constraint to formalisation is weak financial management.

"Without proper records,businesses cannot assess performance,financial institututions cannot trust them and tax compliance remains inconsistent," said the PSST,adding that addressing this is critical to achieving the Ten-Fold Growth Strategy.

He said this tool is a single window solution for both legal and fiscal formalization.

During the handover of the tool to @mofpedU after the pilot testing phase, Elena Botvina,the Economic Affairs Officer,Division on Investment and Enterprise,United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) said the tool is easily accessible & convenient & also cost-effective for business records keeping and reporting.

She said the tool enables better cash management & facilitates expense tracking and revenue increase.

During the pilot testing phase,30 small informal enterprises within Kampala were supported. Over 490 SMEs have tried the tool and appreciated its usefulness. 241 have already registered and created accounts on the platform.

« AI is changing how we work. Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. The pace of what's possible with a small, focused team has changed dramatically, and it's accelerating every day. »

🇮🇳 Factory workers in India are wearing head-mounted cameras so AI can watch exactly how humans do physical work. Every hand movement, every adjustment, every shortcut.

The workers are training their own replacements in real time, on the job, getting paid to do it.

The most honest description of this is also the most uncomfortable one.

Your AI conversations aren't privileged. Yesterday, Judge Jed Rakoff ruled that 31 documents a defendant generated using an AI tool and later shared with his defense attorneys are not protected by attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine.

The logic is simple: an AI tool is not an attorney. It has no law license, owes no duty of loyalty, and its terms of service explicitly disclaim any attorney-client relationship. Sharing case details with an AI platform is legally no different from talking through your legal situation with a friend (which is not privileged).

You can't fix it after the fact, either. Sending unprivileged documents to your lawyer doesn't retroactively make them privileged. That's been settled law for years. It just hadn't been tested with AI until now.

And here's what really hurt the defendant: the AI provider's privacy policy (Claude), in effect when he used the tool, expressly permits disclosure of user prompts and outputs to governmental authorities. There was no reasonable expectation of confidentiality.

The core problem is the gap between how people experience AI and what's actually happening. The conversational interface feels private. It feels like talking to an advisor. But unless you negotiate for an enterprise agreement that says otherwise, you're inputting information into a third-party commercial platform that retains your data and reserves broad rights to disclose it.

Judge Rakoff also flagged an interesting wrinkle: the defendant reportedly fed information from his attorneys into the AI tool. If prosecutors try to use these documents at trial, defense counsel could become a fact witness, potentially forcing a mistrial. Winning on privilege doesn't make the evidentiary picture simple.

For anyone advising clients or managing legal risk, this is a wake-up call. AI tools are not a safe space for clients to process their counsel's advice and to regurgitate their legal strategy. Every prompt is a potential disclosure. Every output is a potentially discoverable document.

So what do we do about it?

First, attorneys need to be proactive. Advise clients explicitly that anything they put into an AI tool may be discoverable and is almost certainly not privileged. Put it in your engagement letters. Make it part of onboarding. Don't assume clients understand this, because most don't.

Second, if clients want to use AI to help process legal issues (and they clearly will, increasingly), then let's give them a way to do it inside the privilege. Collaborative AI workspaces shared between attorney and client, where the AI interaction happens under counsel's direction and within the attorney-client relationship, can change the analysis entirely. I'm excited to be planning this kind of approach, and I think it's where the industry needs to head.

One of my favorite lessons I’ve learnt from working with smart people:

Action produces information. If you’re unsure of what to do, just do anything, even if it’s the wrong thing. This will give you information about what you should actually be doing.

Sounds simple on the surface - the hard part is making it part of your every day working process.
