A computer that has never been exposed to philosophical texts could potentially ask questions that children often do.
For example, many children upon reaching the age of reason (usually somewhere around 7) will ask questions like 'how do I know my blue is the same as yours?' which is evidence they experience qualia.
Current computer AI attempts don't count because they've been exposed to large corpi of philosophy
For any entity with qualia, of which only one certainly exists from the perspective of any given observer, this is more accurately stated as “any other entity than the self” rather than “non-biological objects”.
Qualia inherently is not observable externally, so it is impossible to build a body of evidence which would support associating it with observable traits like “being a biological object”.
