Hi @South_Asia

This is Hardware and Software compatibility issue. You are using older version of TensorFlow (2.4.0) and AutoKeras (1.0.13) which are not compatible to each other and also very old packages. Please try again by installing the latest TensorFlow(>=2.12) and the latest AutoKeras version in your system and let us know if the issue still persists. Thank you.
