The convergence of communication and intelligence is initiating a revolutionary and disruptive transformation of the communication system. This paper first analyzes the current research of communication and artificial intelligence technologies, highlighting the necessity of their deep integration. It then presents an original paradigm called ComAI, and discusses on its guiding theory, namely semantic information theory, which reveals that synonymy is the essential characteristic of semantic information. Starting from the concept of synonymous mapping, a semantic information measurement system is constructed, and the semantic source coding theorem, semantic channel coding theorem, and semantic rate-distortion coding theorem, semantic channel coding, and semantic rate−distortion coding are proved. Furthermore, a series of key technologies of the ComAI system are discussed. Finally, it outlines the future application prospects of ComAI. To support the construction of China's intelligent communication infrastructure system, it is imperative to achieve breakthroughs in core technologies and enhance China's overall competitiveness in the field of information and communication.
