Senators push federal commission to help defend voters from artificial intelligence disinformation

A bipartisan Senate duo is pressing the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to help prepare state and local officials to ward off artificial intelligence-produced disinformation targeted at voters. 

In a new letter exclusively obtained by CBS News, Democratic Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Maine GOP Sen. Susan Collins shared that they have "serious concerns" while urging for more steps to be taken to help officials around the country "combat these threats." 

Tuesday's letter comes after an incident involving New Hampshire's presidential primary.
