In medicine and law it has been no different. The use of robotics in medicine combined with new applications of artificial intelligence has brought ethical, social, economic and regulatory challenges to be addressed. Starting from the study of the civil responsibility of the au- tonic acts of robot physician who uses artificial intelligence for practices that were previously reserved for physicians, such as patient care, the formulation of diagnosis and the indication of appropriate treatment, will seek to present a current perspective based on scientific reports of how the discussion of this issue is being made in the world and especially in Europe. The formulation of a concept for a robot physician is presented, bringing examples of the use of artificial intelligence in medicine in several parts of the world. These discussions are based on the possibility of damage that can arise from the use of robot physicians and the theories of civil liability that can be applied to these cases. In the course of the research will be presented the current efforts that the European Parliament has made to promote the development of updated legislation in order to protect all possible harmed by the acts of robot doctor and try to formulate solutions for future problems in the civil sphere that may arise from the widespread use of this technology. Finally, it is worth clarifying that the research tries to answer the problem from the theories of civil responsibility available today.
