I would like to know exactly what is the big difference between the words "Suki" and "Ai".

I've always believed that when someone says "Suki da" It would translate into "I like you" and "Ai shite masu" would translate into "I love you". But then again there appears to be people who believes that expressing your feelings through the simple words "I like you" doesn't translate right and it should be translated into "I love you" instead which in turn gives "Ai shite masu" no mean in my opinion.

So can anyone explain exactly how the two are different and how they could be translated?
