Doesn't Illustrator have a method of exporting to .svg format? I imagine .ai format is a proprietary format made for illustrator the same way .psd is for Photoshop, and you'd have to export it.

The file is useless except perhaps to Illustrator. The only data it
contains is AI private data, and it shows empty in any PDF viewers
