No, not actually in the quest. I'm pretty sure RuneScape doesn't even have that concept formed.

That does bring up some very interesting questions about the nature of life itself, though. If an automaton (i.e. a rune guardian) is created with technology so sophisticated that it perfectly emulates sentience and the living experience, is it alive? Because that would pretty much fly in the face of the universal law that only elder gods can create life.
