\par \quad  The development of {\bf{Artificial Intelligence-Theory and Practice}} has been a rewarding and intellectually stimulating process. This work is the result of sustained effort, critical reflection, and the synthesis of knowledge built over decades in the field of artificial intelligence. We acknowledge the vast body of research, theory, and application that has shaped the modern understanding of AI. The ideas presented in this book are deeply rooted in the contributions of the global academic and research communities. The collective progress in areas such as machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, provided the foundation upon which this text is built. Gratitude is extended to the many educators, students, and professionals who have contributed indirectly to this work through their questions, discussions, and engagement with the subject matter. Their curiosity and dedication to learning continue to shape how AI is taught and understood.

Thanks are also due to those involved in the preparation and refinement of this book, including those who worked on editing, formatting, and quality assurance. Their commitment to clarity and accessibility has been instrumental in bringing this book to completion. This project has also benefited from the quiet support and encouragement that makes focused work possible. While not named individually, that support has been deeply appreciated throughout every stage of this endeavor. It is our hope that this book will serve as a meaningful resource for those seeking to explore, understand, and contribute to the evolving field of artificial intelligence.
