Same issues as those faced in the field of scientific research, really. Pressure to put out something flashy coupled with sensational journalism adding even more fantastical hype over the top.

I don’t know the answer to your question, but decoupling progress from profits would be a good idea. An international body dedicated to knowledge and research for their own sake, funded by everyone, maybe?
