Unfortunately, the short answer is no -- we cannot recommend any software to reliably check for the use of AI because there is none that works well enough. Numerous articles have stated that AI detectors give too many false positives on work that students have written themselves. AI detectors are also easy to "fool" by making simple changes to AI-generated text. Even OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT, say that AI detectors don't work (see "Do AI detectors work?" in this article for more details).
If you are an instructor who suspects that a student has used AI for academic work in a non-approved way, consider following the steps suggested on this page from the Center for Teaching Excellence at the University of Kansas, in the section that begins, "So how should instructors use the AI detection tool? Instead of making quick judgments ... take a few more steps to gather information."
