Version 6

I'm wondering how the new built in AI in V6 might function with the IVS rules in (dahua's newish) cameras. The IVS (animal version) rules work great to trigger when needed, and I have (almost) no false triggers. So what would I expect the new built in AI to do? Just another confirming layer after the IVS triggers? or is the expectation that it would replace IVS (and one would set the camera to trigger often and have AI sort it out?) Would that be likely to be better than IVS? (or is the built in AI a tool for cameras that don't have a great IVS system already?)

Exactly. I have not seen where AI will do anything particularly awesome for me and my 9 cameras around my house. I am certainly open to hearing what the benefits are if someone can enlighten me.

I just looked as far as the change log and there was no entry

So before I try to write a novel on the subject, what are you trying to detect and do you get a lot of false alarms!

I started with cpai and it did a decent job of filtering out the triggers from BI (that was set to trigger on evereything). It did eliminate most false triggers (rain, snow, wind, small animals, sun/shade changes) and alert me to people, cars, and animals (I fight the deer problem!)
Then when new firmware arrived (thanks Andy) that let IVS do the same work for the same cars, people, and animals, I stopped CPAI and let the built in IVS and Onvif handle alerts, and it does a great job, at way less of a lift than cpai. So now with BI v6 offering built in AI, I'm wondering if that will be something useful for my situation or not. I'm ok with the extra setup if it does more than the IVS does (not sure what that would be though!)
