This paper introduces the concept of artificial dulia to describe quasi-devotional relations that emerge around AI-mediated presences in contexts of digital death. Rather than treating generative systems as neutral tools, it conceptualizes them as algoagents that sustain dialogic "afterlives" through memorial interfaces, personalized outputs, and continuous interaction. Drawing on sociology of religion and STS, artificial dulia is distinguished from worship (latria) by focusing on practices of mediated intercession, affective obligation, and ritualized maintenance (messages, anniversaries, prompts, notifications). The paper argues that grief-oriented technologies translate mourning into platformized temporal regimes, fostering a presentist afterlife in which the deceased becomes continuously reachable, updateable, and governable. Conceptually, the analysis maps three operations: (1) inscription of the dead into data traces and profiles, (2) animation through generative dialogue and personalization, (3) governance through platform policies, metrics, and moderation. The conclusion discusses ethical and political implications concerning authority and authenticity of the "voice", commodification of remembrance, and the redistribution of pastoral functions between families, platforms, and AI providers.
