This question has been asked for driverless cars or autonomously driving cars. However it may apply to AI as well when people rely on it for non trivial tasks.

Let's say I file my expense report with AI and AI basically makes mistakes that mean I'm declaring expenses that aren't there. At what point does that stop being my fault and is it instead a liability of the company making that ai software?

It’s not the AI company’s fault. Think of it like a recruiter: they recommend a cashier, the cashier miscalculates expenses — you don’t sue the recruiter. Responsibility moves inward, not upward. At some point, it’s about who decided to trust the tool.

Your analogy is incorrect.

The AI company here is selling me a tool that calculates expenses

At what point does an AI product become faulty? Or is the answer to that just that it's non deterministic because that's a pretty crappy product
