Xie went through Nanchang No.10 Middle School in Jiangxi Province, China.{{cite web |url=https://sgy.ustc.edu.cn/news/2021011500006788 |title=谢幸(92少)获选中国计算机学会会士 |date= 15 January 2021 |website= School of the Gifted Young |publisher= University of Science and Technology of China |access-date= 4 April 2024 |quote= |language= Chinese}} In 1992, he enrolled in the University of Science and Technology of China for both his B.S. and Ph.D. He graduated from the Department of Computer Science in 2001.{{cite web |url= https://www.ustcif.org.cn/default.php/content/3323 |title= 起底AI与大数据之中国科大系 |date= |website=University of Science and Technology of China Initiative Foundation |publisher= |access-date= 5 April 2024 |quote= |language= Chinese}}

Career

In July 2001, Xie started as an associate researcher at Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing, China where he held a number of research roles including senior principal researcher.{{cite web |url= https://c.m.163.com/news/a/IPCT7I6P0511FQO9.html |title= 14 名华人入选、"深度学习三巨头"也全部上榜,2023 ACM Fellow 名单公布! |author= 郑丽媛 |date= 26 January 2024 |website= NetEase |publisher= Chinese Software Developer Network |access-date= 14 May 2024 |quote= |language= Chinese }}{{cite web |url=https://www.ccf.org.cn/c/2018-01-22/622542.shtml |title= 谢幸 |date= |website= China Computer Federation |publisher= |access-date= 14 May 2024 |quote= |language=Chinese}}{{cite web |url= https://www.ustcif.org.cn/default.php/content/4770/ |title= 多位中国科大校友与教授晋IEEE会士 |date= |website= University of Science and Technology of China Initiative Foundation |publisher= |access-date= 14 May 2024 |quote= |language= Chinese}}

Around 2009, his group was interested in data mining to learn user interests and therefore recommend travel route, restaurants, and social connections. As smartphones and other data creating devices became more common, the impact grew accordingly and later created the foundation for research into responsible AI practices. This interdisciplinary research led to them becoming pioneers in this field.{{cite web |url= https://www.acm.org/articles/people-of-acm/2024/xing-xie |title= People of ACM - Xing Xie |date= 11 June 2024 |website= Association for Computing Machinery |publisher= |access-date= 13 June 2024 |quote= |language= }}

In 2022, large language models made impressive progress, changing the landscape of many areas and bringing significant impact to society. Microsoft Research responded by naming Xie to lead their Societal AI initiative to remove bias, instill fairness, and detoxify language, among other goals to ensure AI is encountable to society{{cite web |url= https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/lab/microsoft-research-asia/articles/shaping-the-future-with-societal-ai-2024-microsoft-research-asia-startrack-scholars-program-highlights-ai-ethics-and-interdisciplinary-integration |title=Shaping the Future with Societal AI: 2024 Microsoft Research Asia StarTrack Scholars Program Highlights AI Ethics and Interdisciplinary Integration |date=18 December 2023 |website= Microsoft |publisher= |access-date= 13 June 2024 |quote= |language= }} as the technological tool evolves into more of a society entity that that exerts significant influence.{{cite web |url= https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/academic-program/microsoft-research-asia-startrack-program/fields |title= Microsoft Research Asia StarTrack Scholars Program: Fields |date= |website= Microsoft |publisher= |access-date= 13 June 2024 |quote= |language= }}
