Binary isn't a language any more than denary is. In the context of signage, its more like an alternative alphabet.

That seems a bit pedantic.

More fun that way...
But if you take the position that AIs might not wish to use the latin alphabet, what would they use instead? Binary in 0s and 1s is clearly hopelessly clumsy, and really you'd want something that delivered unicode. Some kind of bar code or QR code system perhaps?
