But let's set aside the question of whether it's "alive". The question I want to ask is, can an entity have subjectivity, consciousness, sapience, etc - the qualities that generally go to make up personhood - even if that entity is not an organic life form?

And I see no reason, in principle, why that couldn't be the case. I'm not saying any actually existing machine has those qualities, but there's no fundamental philosophical reason a sufficiently advanced machine wouldn't be capable of having them.
