It's difficult to understand what you mean by that question. あい is pretty simple to pronounce and very short... ?
If by "あい" you mean the word for "love; affection; desire", then it can be written as a single character (instead of two kana characters) by writing it using its kanji: 愛
愛 is less characters to write, but I doubt you could say it is simpler that way as it takes more strokes to write that one character...
If you literally mean a simpler way to "say" あい, then I have no idea what you mean. ^^;
