Why can John Murphy see A.L.I.E.?
In the TV series The 100, initially only Jaha could see A.L.I.E. and nobody else, and he communicates with her.
Secondly, anybody who takes the key to the city of light (that blue star pill) is also able to see the A.L.I.E. - this is evident when Raven takes the pill. She didn't see A.L.I.E. before taking the pill, but afterwards she saw her and even communicated with her.
Why does Murphy see and communicate with A.L.I.E. (who is a hologram) even though he has not taken the pill, but others can't unless they take the pill?
Picture below shows A.L.I.E. in the presence of the chancellor, who has not spotted her:
Best Answer
This is fairly simple, OP even stated the anwser in his question. When Murphy see her, she is an hologram inside the mansion, meaning she uses an holographic device to communicate with her new guests. Once they take the pill, the holographic program is able to make you see her while others who didn't take the pill won't be able to.
If I'm correct, this is the only time Murphy sees her.
TL;DR : Two ways to see A.L.I.E. 1- Be near a holographic device that she controls 2- Swallow the pill
EDIT: I'm not 100% up to date with the latest season, if you mean Murphy has actually seen her without taking the pill and outside the mansion, please inform me I will retract my anwser.

Why can only Jaha see Alie?
Jaha saw ALIE because she was a hologram in the mansion and was able to be seen by anyone who went there. It's just that outside of the mansion only people who took the chip could see her. People probably heard about it through scavengers like Emori who frequently visited the place for tech.How did Jaha find Alie?
He saw her in the mansion because everyone could, chipped or not. He could see her afterwards because he took the chip and that backpack thing. He could see her in the mansion because his avatar is projected via holographic device hidden, probably in the furnitures,the walls or the ceilling.How long was John Murphy stuck in the bunker?
After being locked inside the bunker for 86 days, Murphy finds out the truth about A.L.I.E. and escapes from a brainwashed Jaha with Emori. Later, Murphy is taken prisoner and tortured in Polis because he was found with the key to the City of Light.Did Jaha take the chip?
Jaha's actions during his strive to reach the City of Light are horrifying, but Jaha only gets worse after meeting A.L.I.E. He takes the chip and allows her access to his mind.More answers regarding why can John Murphy see A.L.I.E.?
Answer 2
I think it's because he entered the mansion. He sees her in there, just like Jaha, even if both didn't take the pill but entered the mansion. There's no other way that would make sense to me
