A method includes: A communication apparatus receives information about an artificial intelligence (AI) connection, where the information about the AI connection includes at least one of the following configured for the AI connection: a model, a dataset, and a computing resource; and the communication apparatus sets up the AI connection to an AI node based on the information about the AI connection. The communication apparatus sets up the AI connection to the AI node based on the information about the AI connection including at least one of the model, the dataset, and the computing resource, so that AI-related signaling can be transmitted between the communication apparatus and the AI node based on the AI connection, and an AI-related operation is performed, to implement integration of AI and a wireless network.
