Kai moves much faster than the original DBZ TV show. The idea, apparently, was to re-release the show in a form that more closely followed Akira Toriyama's manga series – which, in practical terms, amounted to chopping out lots and lots of filler. You could call this a remake of Dragon Ball Z, but "re-edit" might be the most effective way of putting it. Kai, on the other hand, is geared more towards viewers who haven't been Dragon Ball fans for 20-odd years already. Typically, the idea behind bringing back a classic anime is to squeeze a little more interest out of viewers that're already hooked. As anime revivals go, though, it's not bad at all, especially since it takes a different tack compared to a lot of similar projects.
Kai isn't any kind of brand-new series, certainly – it's a spruced-up re-release of the original DBZ TV show.
