This research aims to determine who is liable before the law for the injuries that may be caused by AI machine or so-called "robot" which uses artificial intelligence (AI)'s technology established by the ability of mental trial and self-decision; However, since even the best technology is not error-free, robots may cause severe damage to human beings and property, for society to just accept these new technologies and to foster innovation, clear rules on civil liability are required. The Legislature in the EU, US and MENA region have been cautious about this issue, which has shaped a thoughtful predicament in defining who is responsible for the actions of the robot, whether the robot itself is liable for it, or that it is in the future liable to accept its consequences, and then to hold the robot personally responsible for the harm it may cause. After reviewing the European Civil Law of Robotics issued in February 2017, we found that the EU's resolution was based on the idea of a "Human Agent" was liable to compensate for the damage caused by the acts of the robot; manufacturers, operators or owners. That means the robot may be given a legal status which allows it to be an enabler, not a safeguarded thing, and to establish a future
