Both .psd (Photoshop) and .ai (Illustrator) files are very popular graphics formats, both dealing with different kind of graphics data, namely raster vs. vector. Whilst it is very easy to create a static bitmap out of vector image, the opposite can be difficult to achieve and it's almost never perfect. Nevertheless, several professional graphics programs might be able to achieve psd to ai conversion., which usually means importing the Photoshop data as objects to Illustrator via the convert layers as objects function.
