No. Artificial insemination is only used on cows. It may affect the number of bulls that a producer can have in his operation, but it certainly doesn't affect the bulls themselves. A producer still has to manage his bulls the same way as he always would without incorporating the use of artificial insemination into his operations.

Artificial insemination is just a fancy term for an alternative method of getting cows bred without having to deal with potentially dangerous and ornery bulls.
