It can serve as both.
The pronoun I /a?/ is the first-person singular nominative case personal pronoun in Modern English. It is used to refer to one's self and is capitalized, although other pronouns, such as he or she, are not capitalized https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_%28pronoun%29
Isaac Asimov uses this in the title of one of his more famous works "I, Robot"

Other letters which are also words are: a, the indefinite article; o, an exclamation or before a name as a respectful introduction (O mighty Zeus etc).
Ref: Websters or any other dictionary.
