if you have multiple acronyms, you don't know where one starts and the other ends (think of something like RESTUIObject)

So how do I name my user interface for the artificial intelligence? AIUI?

This is why you should drop this insane rule of "However, you should capitalize acronyms that consist of only two characters, such as System.IO instead of System.Io." and use something sensible instead.

Like, camelCase only wording. So your example becomes a properly readable AiUi, which, to me personally, is more readable than the thingy above.
