vii) Explore opportunities for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) 9  approaches in the  area of ERA, including data extraction and integration of information from  different sources. The tenderer needs to be available to be interviewed by a  contractor (still to be identified through a separate call for tenders) preparing  the roadmap for action on artificial intelligence in evidence management in risk  assessment.  i) Identify potential challenges and blockers to build PERA and for the transition  to next generation, systems-based ERA based on the outcome of Objective 2  and 3;  ii) Assess the impact of challenges and blockers (see objective 4.i, above) for  EFSA’s  vision as defined in the theme paper (Annex 3) and potential partners;  iii) Explore feasible alternatives to overcome challenges and blockers (see  objective 4.i, above).  iv) Explore if the outcome of objectives 2, 3 and 4 result in a revised problem  formulation for the implementation of PERA and transition to next generation  systems-based ERA, previously defined under objective 1, and provide  recommendations for integrating the identified gaps (e.g. work areas). i) Identify opportunities for pertinent cooperation/collaboration with potential  partners outlined in the theme paper and any additional potential partner(s)  identified; ii) Perform  an  analysis  of  the  added  value  and  benefits  of  pertinent  cooperation/collaboration opportunities (see objective 5.i, above), as well as  possible challenges of the identified potential partnership(s). i) Prioritise/rank working areas based on new EU policy targets (in terms of the  Green Deal and associated strategies and action plans), and development needs  and opportunities identified in previous objectives;  ii) Prioritise/rank key opportunities, and possible partners based on the outcomes  of objective 5.i, above. Also consider the Article 36 list of competent  organisations 10 designated by EU Member States to assist EFSA with tasks  within the field of its mission;  10 Refer to https://efsa.force.com/competentorganisations/s/  9 Artificial Intelligence has been defined by the European Commission as “Artificial Intelligence refers to  systems that display intelligent behaviour by analysing their environment and taking action  —  with some  degree of autonomy  —  to achieve specific goals. We are using AI on a daily basis, for example to block email  spam or speak with digital assistants. Growth in computing power, availability of data and progress in  algorithms have turned AI into one of the most important technologies of the 21st century. ” Refer to  https://ec.europa.eu/knowledge4policy/publication/coordinated-plan-artificial-intelligence-com2018-795- final_en#:~:text=Delivering%20on%20its%20strategy%20on,use%20of%20AI%20in%20Europe 9  Objective 4: Identifying challenges and blockers  Objective 5: Assessing cooperation/collaboration opportunities  Objective 6: Prioritising working areas and possible partners
