I got a small deposit (100€) in yesterday at Bitstamp and now they want me to answer 5 questions.

Probably it is not Bitstamp that selects the unlucky customers who will get those questionnaires.  There may be some agency that checks all deposits (by hand or through some algorithm) and picks the "suspicious" ones, that Bitstamp is required to question further.

"Artificial intelligence" algorithms are now routinely used by banks to spot possible card theft, and by governments to spot possible tax evasion.
