Abstract Phishing remains one of the most persistent and detrimental cyber threats in the modern digital landscape. Traditional defence mechanisms, such as blacklists and manual reporting, are critically ineffective against the rapid evolution and deployment of sophisticated, zero-day phishing sites. This review paper explores the transition to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) as a robust, adaptive solution to this problem. We outline a systematic methodology involving feature engineering—analysing URL characteristics, domain metadata, and page content—followed by the application of classification algorithms such as Decision Trees, Random Forests, and Support Vector Machines (SVM). Through critical analysis, we compare the performance trade-offs between simple classifiers and ensemble methods, highlighting the superior accuracy and generalisation capability of ensemble models like Random Forest. The paper provides an extensive survey of existing literature, tracing the evolution from simple ML techniques to state-of-the-art Deep Learning and hybrid systems. Finally, we identify key research gaps, notably model vulnerability to adversarial attacks and the need for standardised, real-time deployment strategies, outlining the future scope for developing continuous learning and hybrid detection mechanisms.
