Forbes recently released a backstage interview from the Under 30 Summit in Ohio where Kiara Nirghin, cofounder of Chima, laid out straightforward ways entrepreneurs can use AI to get more done. The short, practical conversation underscores a truth Washington elites refuse to gaslight us about: innovation comes from scrappy founders and small teams, not bureaucratic mandates. This is the kind of no-nonsense, results-oriented thinking that built modern America and should be celebrated, not punished.
Chima, founded by sisters Nikhara and Kiara Nirghin, is building what it calls “human reasoning” AI systems aimed at automating everyday business tasks so workers can focus on higher-value work. The startup’s pitch is simple and patriotic: let private enterprise solve efficiency problems so businesses can compete and American workers can keep their edge. When entrepreneurs replace drudgery with smart software, productivity rises and the economy benefits, plain and simple.
Kiara’s background—Stanford, Google and Meta experience, and a track record that includes winning the Google Science Grand Prize—shows this is real talent, not woke credentialism. Her journey from a prize-winning young scientist to a tech founder is proof that merit and hard work still matter more than woke identity narratives pushed by coastal elites. Conservatives should point to stories like hers as the positive, aspirational alternative to the entitlement culture the left keeps promoting.
In the Forbes clip Nirghin warns that “AI is going to compete with the time you have,” which is a blunt reminder to business owners: either harness tools that increase output or fall behind. Entrepreneurs who adopt practical AI workflows will be the winners—especially small businesses that learn to use these tools to amplify human judgment. That competitive pressure is healthy; it forces better management, leaner operations, and more opportunities for Americans who are willing to work.
Chima has already attracted investor interest and early backing, signaling that the market rewards technology that actually helps firms operate smarter and faster. Venture support and Y Combinator ties show investors still bet on productivity-enhancing ideas that deliver measurable results, not on virtue-signaling projects with no commercial upside. Policymakers who want to help everyday workers should protect the free market that funds these breakthroughs instead of kneecapping innovation with heavy-handed regulation.
For hardworking Americans and small-business owners, the takeaway is obvious: learn the tools, demand simple ROI, and don’t let alarmist voices dictate your adoption of practical technology. If conservatives champion common-sense policies that keep markets open and entrepreneurship rewarded, Americans will keep inventing better ways to get things done. That kind of forward-looking, liberty-minded embrace of innovation is what will restore growth, opportunity, and pride in American work.
