yea, there's lots of sentences in English that are shorter than "I am." "Go" is one.. "Die" "Yes" "No" just to name a few.. as explained above by others the subject is not needed.. it's understood..

'Go' is not a complete sentence in the English language, as it does not have a simple subject. That goes for 'Yes' and 'No' as well. 'I am' is, infact the shortest sentence in the English language.
