Enhanced AI? Do you mean you gave them (besides perhaps adding some extra AI formers manually) extra bonuses besides the ones inherent to the faction file?

Nope, but +2growth and +2industry is a lot by itself.
First turns show AI are quite strong.
Well, maybe they are not starting on The Dunes...

Just asking, as I've become a bit scared of the super AI. In a recent single player game I've been basically defeated by the Cult. I designed them as a low population faction. They haven't been given Industry or Growth bonus but instead get huge fungal bonuses. So normally they have low pop yet productive bases. However in my recent game they started on the Monsoon Jungle, so were able to outgrow me big time. After a decades long war I finally captured a base of them and could trade land (sea actually) for peace, and turn to builder mode for a while after all. But a decade hadn't even past and they declared war again. I checked the F7 Nexus, and they had doubled their military size in no more than five years. I just quit the game as hopeless then...
