Problem with ".ai imports" in Illustrator

[#1]

Hello

I've got a big problem and and no information anywhere.

For my work I get illustrator files that I need to open that contain vector graphics. But in the "links" part, these replace some vector parts with illegible imports, unrecognized imports, inside Illustrator.

These imports have a name ending in .ai!

Do you have an idea to open it?

Thanks

Jérôme
