You probably won't.
As far as the legal system is concerned, an employee operating an LLM is no different than an employee operating heavy construction equipment. The employer is liable for maintaining the equipment, ensuring employees are sufficiently qualified to operate the equipment, and continuously following policies and procedures to avoid harm when operating the machine. Merely instructing employees they're responsible for using the machine safely as determined by their own judgement isn't legally defensible.
That said, your employer might be stupid and fire you anyways. So if that happens, you'll should talk to a lawyer and bring your employer court for wrongful termination. It will take time, but you'll almost certainly get a very nice settlement payout. There's only downside risk for a company to be a involved with a novel legal dispute, and they'll pay handsomely to avoid it.
