Significant changes in marine environment characteristics led to complicated alterations in acoustic underwater channels in times, frequency, and space. UWA communication systems that fulfill UWA business criteria in different marine conditions have not yet been established. In all weather situations, it is significantly more difficult to develop large-scale, reliable, and durable UWA networking applications. In recent years, the fast growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data has been inspired for new technologies and it is a breakthrough of traditional UWA communication technology by the development of the Internet of underwater things. This paper summarized the advancement of various Modulation techniques, methods, and AI technology used for UWA communications globally. The UWA channel characteristics and the major approach are also discussed that applying in AI technology for UWA communication. The use of AI for UWA communications in physical and network layers is summarized. Finally, it summarizes the potential junction between AI and UWA research in communication and its future outlook.
