It can mean "I like" or "I am liked" depending on the sentence before it or the understood intent.

Suki does not mean "to like" as in English. It is an adjective meaning "likable" (closest meaning in English). The subject of the sentence is the object you like (in English) and is marked with "ga" (or sometimes "wa", especially for emphasis or distinction). For instance:

ビルはあなたもアンナもすきですか？
Does Bill like you and Anna?
ちがう。わたしはすきです。
No. He likes ME.

The example is a bit forced, but hopefully you get the idea. When the person who does the liking is not marked by "wa", it usually takes the "ni" particle. In other words, in English, it would be "Something {ga} is likeable {suki desu} to {ni} someone."

Can mean either, and it sort of doesn't mean either.

watasi ha suki desu would be used in the following way:

Sue ha Jim ha suki deha arimasen ga, watasi ha suki desu.

Sue doesn't like Jim but she likes me.

Also, as another poster pointed out, suki doesn't really mean like. Our English "like" is a verb, but 'suki' is an adjective, so it acts more like the word "likeable", or maybe "have a preference for".
