1. An artificial intelligence (AI) switch chip, comprising:
a first AI interface configured to couple to a first AI in a first server;
a first network interface configured to couple to a second server; and
a controller separately coupled to the first AI interface and the first network interface and configured to:
receive, from a processor of the first server and through the first AI interface, control information, wherein the control information instructs the AI switch chip to receive first data of the first AI chip, wherein the control information comprises an identifier (ID) of the first AI chip and an interface number of the first AI chip;
obtain, based on the control information, information of the first AI chip based on the ID;
obtain, based on the control information, information of the first AI interface connected to the first AI chip;
receive, through the first AI interface and from the first AI chip, the first data based on the control information; and
send the first data to the second server through the first network interface.
