Von der Leyen pitches AI-powered 'Only Once' data reporting for EU businesses

Ursula von der Leyen proposed an 'Only Once' principle under which EU companies would report data to authorities a single time, with AI helping public bodies use it. She gave no details on how the system would work, which companies it would cover, or when it would launch. The idea already appears in the March EU Inc. proposal, but without AI.

• EU firms would report data once, with AI helping authorities use it
• The 'Only Once' idea is already in the March EU Inc. proposal, minus AI
• Von der Leyen gave no timeline, scope, or technical details
• She also urged EU governments to sign a gold-plating pact
