Could It Though?
Could Elon Musk end world poverty? Could AI run a country? Could you buy every lottery ticket and guarantee a win? Big “what if” questions, answered with real numbers. Each episode takes one wild hypothetical and runs it through three questions. Could it? Is it even possible? Would it? What happens when someone actually tries? Should it? And if we could, is it a good idea? Hosted by Gazza. Real maths, real sources, short episodes and a straight verdict at the end. From stopping ageing to moving a million people to Mars, we take the questions everyone wonders about and find out whether they’d actually work. New questions, real answers. Could it? Would it? Should it?

EP03: Could AI Run a Country?
In September 2025, Albania hired a new government minister. She never sleeps. She never takes a bribe. And she doesn’t exist. Her name is Diella, she’s an AI, and a month later the Prime Minister announced she was “pregnant” with 83 AI babies, one for every MP in his party.
