Preface AIC 2017 This book of Proceedings contains the accepted papers of the 5th International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Cognition (AIC 2017), held in Larnaca, Cyprus, during 1-3 of November, 2017. The series of workshop AIC was launched in 2013 with the idea of fostering the collaboration between the researchers coming from the fields of computer science, philosophy, engineering, psychology, neurosciences etc. and working at the intersection of the Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) communities. This edition of the AIC Workshop had a special focus on work related to problems concerning cognitively-inspired methods of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Knowledge Acquisition and Learning, Knowledge Processing Mechanisms in Cognitive Systems and Architectures. There were two invited talks at the meeting: from Katerina Pastra, Cognitive Systems Research Institute, Greece and Alessandro Lenci, University of Pisa and ILC-CNR, Italy. The meeting also included two panel discussions, one on Natural Language in AI and one on the nature of Cognitive Systems. We would like to thank the participants of the workshop as well as the Program Committee Members.
