At first glance, it sounds to me like you need to brush up on your ssh.

# ssh some.host python /home/exe/ai.py

will ssh to the specified host, and run the command 'python /home/exe/ai.py'.

To run this via AppleScript, put it in a do shell script command:

do shell script "ssh some.host python /home/exe/ai.py"

If you simply want to invoke the specified Python on the remote system, then the following shell script (in a filename with a .sh or .command file type to make it execute on double click), with a chmod +x to make the bash shell script executable, should be pretty close:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

ssh user@example.com /path/to/command

Reversing the software stack from your current AppleScript-calling-bash approach, bash can use osascript to access the GUI, too; there are examples of this around.

If you've not encountered it already, Apple has a Shell Scripting Primer.
