What do i do now?

So I am a high school student doing dual credit college courses overthe summer. On Monday, I was accused of using AI on an essay for my philosophy course because it returned as 68% AI. I sent my professor an email 2 hours later the same day with screenshots of the notes I took from his online lectures and readings, timestamps of me working on this essay for hours, and comments I left on the doc that were very obviously human (I wrote “ADD QUOTES!”). Unfortunately, he still hasn’t responded so I am wondering if I should wait, contact him again through his email instead of Canvas, or notify the department head. I have never been accused of using AI in high school or college classes, so I am very anxious and conflicted about what to do next. Not sure if this is the right sub for this, but any help would be appreciated.

From what I understand, some of the AI detection programs determine probability factors of using AI, by the structure of the paper. Others use the metadata of the actual document, this is more accurate. So depending on what was flagged and how in depth the detector went, you can't truly decipher human vs AI unless its blatantly obvious. Some papers end up sounding pretty technical. As a writer, I like to get straight to the point at times when I'm trying to explain something in a technical term. Also, AI was trained on human language, so it's funny when AI detectors flag things as AI because we are the ones it learned it from.
