### Describe the bug

# problem
I can't resample audio dataset in Kaggle Notebook. It looks like some code in `datasets` library use aliases that were deprecated in NumPy 1.20.

## code for resampling
```
from datasets import load_dataset, Audio
from transformers import AutoFeatureExtractor
from transformers import AutoModelForAudioClassification, TrainingArguments, Trainer

minds = load_dataset("PolyAI/minds14", name="en-US", split="train")

feature_extractor = AutoFeatureExtractor.from_pretrained("facebook/wav2vec2-base")

def preprocess_function(examples):
    audio_arrays = [x["array"] for x in examples["audio"]]
    inputs = feature_extractor(
        audio_arrays, sampling_rate=feature_extractor.sampling_rate, max_length=16000, truncation=True
    )
    return inputs

dataset = dataset.map(preprocess_function, remove_columns="audio", batched=True, batch_size=100)
```

AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'object'.
`np.object` was a deprecated alias for the builtin `object`. To avoid this error in existing code, use `object` by itself. Doing this will not modify any behavior and is safe. 
The aliases was originally deprecated in NumPy 1.20; for more details and guidance see the original release note at:
    https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/1.20.0-notes.html#deprecations
```

</details>

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Run above code in Kaggle Notebook.

### Expected behavior

I can resample audio data without fail.

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.1.0
- Platform: Linux-5.15.133+-x86_64-with-glibc2.31
- Python version: 3.10.13
- PyArrow version: 11.0.0
- Pandas version: 2.2.1

Comments: Hi! You can fix this by updating the `datasets` package with `pip install -U datasets` and restarting the notebook.


Kaggle removed the problematic `datasets==2.1.0` pin last week, so I'm closing this issue (now it pre-installs the latest version).
