                                         This volume contains the papers presented at the AAAI 2022 Fall Symposium ”Thinking Fast and Slow
                                         and Other Cognitive Theories in AI”, that was held on November 17th-19th, 2022, as an in person
                                         event at the Westin Arlington Gateway in Arlington, Virginia, USA. These papers were selected by an
                                         international program committee among all those submitted to the symposium through an open call.




1. Aim of the symposium
State-of-the-art AI has many successful and useful applications, but it is often also narrow
in scope and demonstrates several limitations including the lack of deep understanding of
information coming from data, the absence of common-sense reasoning, the difficulty in dealing
with causality, and the inability to learn general concepts from few data. To solve a given
problem, AI systems usually employ either machine learning or a logical reasoning approach.
Each of these approaches has its strengths and weaknesses, but it is hoped that their combination
that will bring about a new generation of advanced AI. It is indeed now recognized by the
whole scientific AI community that end-to-end machine learning (or deep learning) approaches,
although very successful in specific scenarios, cannot bring AI to the next level, and that we
need to carefully and effectively combine both machine learning and reasoning techniques. The
importance of this combination of methods can be seen in the many specific approaches to
neuro-symbolic AI, as well as several workshops and other initiatives in this space.

  This symposium aimed to bring together cutting-edge researchers in these areas to discuss
the combination of machine learning and symbolic reasoning techniques at a more general
and multi-disciplinary level, by taking inspiration from cognitive theories of human decision
making, such as the dual system theory (thinking fast and slow) of Daniel Kahneman.
