Definitely in modern times. I think though that the original undead AI construct would be the robot Hel/Maria, in the 1925 movie Metropolis. Unless you count Frankenstein, published in 1818 by Mary Shelley, but that seems more a biological body and mind brought back to life, rather than a robotic AI construct.
