If we used the analogy of a human who somehow was devoid of experience (senses, etc.) then that human would have to be retaught evertyhing in order to interpret the universe. However, computers of today are basically supercharged calculators; they respond to stimuli that is programmed in by taking a voluminous number of facts and processing those facts at lighting speeds (e.g. The computer Watson who "won" on Jeopardy). But still, that computer is not "thinking" -- or bringing disparate facts together to form new sensations (new colors, new shapes or new poems, music, etc.). Instead, it is basing its output on facts that are input.
Future computers, however, and future efforts at Artificial Intelligence might allow networks to develop and grow -- or to adapt and form new thoughts and opinions about sensations experienced, rather than rely on the basic rote information programmed in. and, instead of making computers so advanced that they can perform more tasks at a greater rate, the ideas of Condillac's statue would likely move from a fact-based machine to a machine...

This might also result in computers actively engaging in networking among themselves, in developing and creating new computers, and in having a sense of "being" so that they understood philosophical concepts of self, emotion, and the ability to create something from nothing that is greater in synergy than itself.
