It should depend on whether the AI is interested in repeat business. If it's an ally, wants to *stay* that way, and can figure that there's ample opportunity for mutually beneficial trades to come -- then it probably shouldn't be shafting you.

OTOH, if it *doesn't* need your support as a returning customer... time to break out the lemons. And if you have a bad reputation with it, perhaps it should be more distrustful.
