Abstract
If we are to think about the post-SDGs agenda, it would be worth considering using a new approach to set new goals and targets. One new approach could be an opportunity-seeking approach. This approach is a change from the current problem-solving approach, which is more proactive and focused on exploring new vectors to realize new goals. Using this approach, one potential goal that could be considered for the post-SDGs agenda is an adaption of Artificial Intelligence. However, scarce financial and human (experts) capitals could be obstacles to install Artificial Intelligence systems in developing countries. To fill these gaps, promotion of space satellites to run and support Artificial Intelligence systems will be indispensable.
