BABL AI’s Chief Ethics Officer Joins Pacem in Terris Event, Advocates for Ethical AI Development

BABL AI Chief Ethics Officer Jovana Davidovic proudly participated in the commemorative event marking the 60th anniversary of Pope John XXIII’s historic letter, Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth). Davidovic contributed to discussions on urgent moral challenges related to warfare, nuclear weapons, and AI.

The Pacem in Terris event, held in September, brought together industry experts, academics, and policymakers to address the pressing issues threatening global peace. Reflecting on the conference, Jovana Davidovic expressed optimism, stating, “There are so many brilliant people working on issues of emerging threats to peace across industry, academia, and policy, so I am actually quite hopeful in spite of the fact that it seems like the threats to peace are growing.”

While acknowledging various risks discussed during the event, Davidovic emphasized a key concern, stating, “Fielding weapons too soon and without appropriate testing, or fielding weapons without regard for how they might be misused…”

In remarks sent by Pope Francis, he invoked the words of St. John XXIII, praying for global unity and brotherhood, stating, “By God’s power and inspiration, all peoples may embrace each other as brothers and sisters, and that the peace for which they long may ever flourish and reign among them.”
