A Washington, D.C., startup is looking to hire local neurodivergent workers as it opens an office downtown, attracted to St. Louis by the promised growth of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency campus. Founded in 2020, Enabled Intelligence is a data-labeling and AI innovation company that works with sensitive and classified government data sets. Because of the work Enabled Intelligence is contracted to do, CEO Peter Kant said they’ve found that employees who are the best match for the job are often part of the neurodivergent community.
A large part of what Enabled Intelligence does is identify and label objects in photos, such as noting the number of jets in an aerial image. Kant said the company has found neurodivergent workers often outperform neurotypical people in this work, thanks to skills in pattern recognition, puzzle-solving and deep focus.
