Hi there,

Sorry about the trouble. It seems the file is corrupted. Could you please share a few more details like:

OS and version of Illustrator
What was the last action you performed which led to this error?
Is the issue related to a specific document?
Could you please share this document with us? You can upload it to the Creative Cloud (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/share.html) and share the download link here.
We can try to recover it. I must also inform you that file recovery can't be guaranteed with 100% success. We'll surely try our best.
Where are you saving the files (Network Drive/ System HDD/ Shared Folder on System/ External HDD)?
Are there any recent changes made to your system? For example, any antivirus, system updates, plugins, or web extensions installed recently.
Does renaming the .Ai to .pdf help resolve the issue. Does it open in Adobe Acrobat?

We are here to help. We just need more information.

Thanks & Regards,

Anshul Saini
