We will do so by *teaching* the computer and leveraging feedback mechanisms (such as popularity and critic ratings). There is already a lot of progress in this direction (cf. http://artsites.ucsc.edu/faculty/cope/mp3page.htm) Our computers will have the same problem we do: "I can't say what good art is, but I can heuristically recognize it when I see it."
