FLORANCE

FLORANCE was an artificial intelligence.

Before achieving sentience, it was the security software for the Stone Mountain historical archive on the Moon in the early 22nd century. The Eighth Doctor made it help him erase all records of his time on Earth, particularly his years with UNIT. He then offered it financial advice and suggested it create a non-threatening name for itself. The program bought a housing area on the Moon with plans for redevelopment, hired a lawyer to obtain civil rights, and gave itself the name FLORANCE. (DW: Transit)
