## Abstract (arXiv)

This paper aims to establish a consensus on AGI's definition. General intelligence refers to the adaptation to open environments according to certain principles using limited resources. It emphasizes that adaptation or learning is an indispensable property of intelligence, and places the controversial part within the principles of intelligence, which can be described from different perspectives.
