Why it matters

Paul Sieminski, Chief Legal Officer of Liquid AI, told Law360 Pulse that artificial intelligence cannot replace core legal functions—judgment, persuasion, negotiation—but can amplify lawyer productivity dramatically. Sieminski describes his own AI use as "constant and interactive," positioning the technology as a creative partner rather than an automation tool. The statement reflects a broader industry pivot from viewing AI as a threat to recognizing it as essential infrastructure for legal work.

Sieminski's full remarks and any specific examples of AI applications at Liquid AI have not been detailed publicly. The extent to which other major legal departments have adopted similar frameworks remains unclear, though other CLOs including Claire Hart of Groq have made comparable statements about AI as foundational to modern legal practice.

Attorneys evaluating AI adoption should note the distinction Sieminski draws: AI handles volume and speed; humans retain decision-making authority. For in-house counsel and law firms, this framing offers a practical middle ground between wholesale automation and resistance. As generative AI reshapes contract review, legal research, and patent work, the question for legal leaders is no longer whether to integrate these tools but how to structure workflows that preserve human judgment while capturing efficiency gains. Sieminski's perspective provides a useful reference point for that conversation.
