This is almost scary if you think about it, because this is in its infancy. In 5, 10, 15 years, will any photo be able to be authenticated? Will this be doabl

  Infancy? Convolutional neural networks have like 20 years. It is just recently when we were able to use bigger models and more data in GPUs when it becomes something main stream and a lot of people are doing things with it. So it is more like in its maturity. Now it is a field growing slowly but steady. Don't expect big things but small increment also every year (which by the way are awesome stuff)

  It will always be a race between recording technology and image generation technology. Low-rez, low-dimensional images (small black-and-white photos, say) will be easy to fake rapidly. High-res higher-dimensional images (full 3D movies of an area at sub-millimeter precision, say) will be much harder to fake within a reasonable time frame. You'll never be certain, but the higher the quality of the recording, the more confident you can be that it's legitimate. (Ian M. Banks touches on this in his book, Player of Games, where a drone blackmails a character by making a recording of that character misbehaving that is high-enough resolution that it couldn't be faked in the time available.)
