Is Cursor compliant with the EU AI Act?
Short answer: it depends on how you use it. The Act does not certify tools as “compliant”. It classifies each use into a risk tier, and your obligations follow from there.
For most general productivity uses this sits at minimal-risk, where only AI literacy (Article 4) applies. Customer-facing or decision-making uses can raise the tier.
What this means for you
If your organisation uses Cursor in the EU, you are a deployer. Inventory the system, write down what you use it for, and classify that use. Then handle the obligations that apply: AI literacy for everyone, transparency for customer-facing use, and the heavier high-risk duties only where an Annex III purpose is involved.
