AD and BC were changed to CE and BCE because there's no reliable way to determine what date Jesus was born, if he existed at all. And just imagine, what if someone did find proof of when he was born. Chances are it wouldn't really be in 1AD so then we'd have to rewrite all our dates.
We know that Jesus was not born in the year 0 it was more likely 6bc. They have not changed it because of that they have changed it to Common Era and Before Common Era to avoid upsetting non-Christians who really don't care.
