Are you asking for the current understanding of what specific parts of human intelligence are economically valuable?

As catlifeonmars noted, what's valuable changes over time.
But beyond that, part of the nature of that change over time is that things tend to be valuable because they're scarce.
So the definition from upthread becomes roughly "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at [useful things where the ability to do those things is scarce]", or alternatively "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at [useful things that can't be automated]".
Which only makes sense if the reflexive (it's dependent on the thing being observed) part that I'm substituting in brackets is pinned to a specific as-of date. Because if it's floating / references the current date that that definition is being evaluated for, the definition is nonsensical.
I'm pretty sure they were asking for a pinned date for definitions of "economically valuable" and "most (of total economic value)", specifically because, as previous comments noted, the definition and quantity of "economic value" vary over time. If AI hype is to be believed, and if we assume AGI has a slow takeoff, the economy will look very different in 2030, significantly shifting the goalposts for AGI relative to the same definition as of 2026.
