load_boston has been removed from scikit-learn since version 1.2.
The Boston housing prices dataset has an ethical problem: as

The scikit-learn maintainers therefore strongly discourage the use of
this dataset unless the purpose of the code is to study and educate
about ethical issues in data science and machine learning.
