Abstract：The current communication technology has approached the limit of Shannon\'s physical capacity. With the development of artificial intelligence technology and wireless communication technology, artificial intelligence plays an increasingly important role in the evolution of traditional communication technology to the future. Semantic communication has gradually attracted the attention of researchers, and its working principle is "semantic-meaning transmission". Its core is to extract the "meaning" of the sent information from the sender, and successfully "interpret" the semantic information from the receiver with the help of the matching knowledge base (KB) between the sender and the receiver. Therefore, semantic communication is essentially a communication scheme based mainly on artificial intelligence. This article will give an overview of the relevant theories of semantic communication and compare them with traditional communication. After that, the challenges faced by semantic communication and its possible applications in the future are discussed.
