Without more information on uniconverter and the organization of your
file collection I can't be more elegant, but I can be more general and
correct a typo:

for i in `find <your find arguments here>`; do
  uniconverter input ${i} output ${i%.ai}.svg
done

This will convert all files named *.ai in the scope of the find to a
file in the same directory with the same name.
