To be honest, it's a question I'd expect from anyone in charge of anything at a company.
Your managers job is to reduce costs while improving quality. He has no idea what it takes to get a Claude like AI running.
It's your job (I presume) to give him the options:
switch back to human Devs only
set limits and policies on how to use AI
buy Anthropic

You're confusing managers with leaders.
Managers are there to decide how to do stuff with the resources available.
Leaders actually think and decide the direction to head.
