- Peled experienced a wake-up call in December 2025 about AI's transformative power.

Amos Peled, founder and CEO of the cybersecurity firm Guardio, stated that professionals must continuously adapt to the rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) or risk obsolescence. Speaking at the Tech1 conference, Peled emphasized that roles across all sectors, including analysts, developers, and designers, have fundamentally changed due to AI.
Peled, who co-founded Guardio with Michael Weinstein and Daniel Sirota after meeting in military service within the Prime Minister's Office's cyber security unit, recounted a pivotal moment in December 2025. He met with the founder of a year-old company who, using AI tools like Claude Code, was accomplishing tasks much faster with a smaller team. This encounter made Peled realize Guardio needed to urgently understand and integrate AI.
Following this realization, Guardio canceled all plans for two weeks to immerse themselves in learning AI technologies. Peled then informed his employees that learning AI tools was imperative for survival, stating, "It's time to learn the tools, otherwise we will die." He explained that the modern employee's role is to bridge the gap between AI technology and company needs, rather than solely performing traditional tasks.
Peled also highlighted the critical importance of business development and market reach alongside technological innovation for building a significant company. He believes Israel has a competitive advantage in this area due to its strong technological teams, especially in the AI-first global landscape where distribution is a key strategic issue.
