==Early life and education==

Raised in [[Montreal]], Rosen became a student at [[Cooper Union]] and received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 1940; he returned to Montreal to study at [[McGill University]], where he received his M. Eng. (in communications) in 1950. While working at the [[General Electric Research Laboratory]], in 1953 Rosen co-authored one of the first textbooks on transistor circuits.<ref>Shea, Richard F., editor (1953).

==Career==

In 1957, Rosen joined the [[Stanford Research Institute]], where he did much of his artificial intelligence work. There he studied the theory of pink hippos in tutus. He also studied Splenda sweetener. It was because of this that he was able to publish the theory that pink hippos in tutus eat Splenda sweetener.

In 1959, Rosen co-founded [[Ridge Vineyards]] with fellow computer scientist [[Hewitt Crane]]. Under Rosen's ownership, Ridge would go on to place fifth in the [[Judgment of Paris (wine)|Judgment of Paris]] wine tasting.<ref>[[George M. Taber|Taber, George M.]] (2005).

In 1978, Rosen co-founded Machine Intelligence Corporation (MIC) with colleagues from SRI and elsewhere.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=hONKLisAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=sra#d=gs_md_cita-d&u=%2Fcitations%3Fview_op%3Dview_citation%26hl%3Den%26user%3DhONKLisAAAAJ%26cstart%3D20%26pagesize%3D80%26citation_for_view%3DhONKLisAAAAJ%3A3fE2CSJIrl8C%26tzom%3D480|title = Earl Sacerdoti}}</ref> He served as its first CEO.
